This is extremely off-topic, FFmpeg is not even written in C++, avoiding the sky-high layers of obfuscation C++ is famous for...
However the less messy way of doing it is using the clear() function.
And to answer such questions use a leak checker, on Windows Dr.Memory is a nice and free tool, nobody should be writing any code without regularly using such a tool.
(which reminds me, any chance someone would volunteer to set up a FATE client running FFmpeg on Windows under Dr.Memory?)
