[FIXED] spyder - clear variable explorer along with variables from memory

Issue

To clear the console we can use the following command -

import subprocess as sp
tmp = sp.call('cls',shell=True)

However, to remove a variable from memory, we often rely upon -

• using del command
• removing variable manually by using the drop-down menu in variable explorer

But both of them are variable specific and hence time-consuming. So is there any general command (like clear under MATLAB) to remove a variable from memory and thereafter from Spyder's Variable Explorer.

Solution

In Spyder, Do following steps
Run
Configuration per file...
Clear all variables before execution [Select Checkbox]

This actually clears variables from previous run of the file. Hope it helps.
