my memory is filling up.
is there a way without a reboot to clear the memory to free the memory?

    Did you try a search on the forum?

    In short: let Linux memory do it's job... OTOH : I can imagine Homey gets slower if all apps are cached to disk so a reboot will fix this. I'm still not sure which app causes this, for me it seems to have started after installing betterpresence and homeylogger. Trying to find the cause...

    Take the candy app. I made a trigger every 1 day reboot homey.

    Notice that some apps, like Mi-light, need some time to connect so you have to disable and enable the app to make it work after a reboot.

    My memory also was filling up with "Other". I disabled all the apps, did a reboot and then, one by one, enabled the apps and checked the memory. 
    In my experience two apps might also be responsible: IFTTT and iCalendar to Voice. Enabling these apps give increasing numbers for "Other" memory. Disabled these apps: the "Other" memory becomes negative or disappears.
    A suspect app is Logitech Harmony Hub. The app is buggy at the moment. Not sure yet.  EDIT: Harmony Hub works fine.
    Anyone has the same experience?

    I kept on testing (disable all apps, reboot and then enable apps one by one wait a while and check the memory use). My suspects are: iCalendar, IFTTT, Homey Logger and HomeyDash.

    You don't need to worry about memory. Homey handles it just fine. It will free up space when it needs to.
