It happens for swap to be used from time to time :
root@servcorp:~# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4011 759 3252 0 4 53
-/+ buffers/cache: 702 3309
Swap: 8191 15 8176
To clear the swap run :
root@servcorp:~# swapoff -a && swapon -a
And free shows :
root@servcorp:~# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4011 746 3265 0 4 55
-/+ buffers/cache: 686 3325
Swap: 8191 0 8191
