why do u wanna clean up swap? its just like windows paging file and comp. only uses it when it runs out of RAM, to store data thats temporary anyway.

Dude - I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say your "swap as well as the RAM is full". If you are asking, "What should I do if my CPU is at 100%?" then look at your running processes. If you asking "What should I do if my system is hung?", well, if it is totally unresponsive to anything you try, then rebooting might be your only answer. I think you probably could get better advice if you described your situation in a little more detail. -- J.W.
