restarting the cluster always running doesn't free the memory?

Hello community,

I was working on optimising the driver memory, since there are code that are not optimised for spark, and I was planning temporary to restart the cluster to free up the memory.

that could be a potential solution, since if the cluster is not working in the first few minutes of each hour it is a good moment to restart it and free up the memory. But I was looking about the standard output and seems that is not free any memory. Why this behaviour? I need to terminate and start the cluster instead of this previous operation?
