Windows handles the virtual memory and there really isn't a way to clear it. Virtual memory is stored on the hard drive. It basically uses your hard drive as more RAM. You can't clear virtual memory any more than you can clear your RAM.
It is possible to set the size of the virtual memory that Windows can create. This is done (if you have XP) through the control panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory Change (other OSs will have it in roughly the same place).
As you can see it isn't easy to find, because changing it can result in very bad things. If you make it too small, you system may crash when it runs out of physical RAM. Too large and you waste hard drive space. It's usually 1.5G, or smaller for older systems. Personally, I would just leave it alone. Windows only uses virtual memory as a last resort, and usually picks a reasonable size.

Why cant you use all of your systems memory to run a virtual machine?
You can't use all of your system memory to run a virtual machine because then there wouldn't be enough memory for the Operating System that's running the virtual machine to function. For instance, if you have 4 GB of system memory total, and your operating system needs at least a quarter of that (1 GB) to function, then your virtual machine maximum memory would be 3 GB.
What is Virtual memory size if physical memory size is 1024MB?
Windows will automatically set your virtual memory size. It all depends on how much free space there is on your hard drive. Your physical memory is your RAM. 1GB of RAM is the same as 1024MB.
