==== RESTART ================================
 >>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__']
 >>> s='string'
 >>> a=1
 >>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'a', 's']

 >>> del a
 >>> del s
 >>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__']

To clear all you can Restart Shell from the menu.
