The whole point of cached memory is that it isn't flushed until something else needs the memory. Caching is great; the alternative is having memory chips potentially sitting there unused while your app drags stuff off disks again and again. And if it's not being cleared by restarting your app, it's probably system-level caching, which is even more useful because it can benefit more than just your app.
Before you try fiddling with memory-related stuff, you need to spend some time learning how it works.
