The easiest options are to either start a new ZAP session or to restart the ZAP process.
Its worth noting that ZAP is not currently designed as a long running service.
Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply Simon,
I have hosted zap on the server and it will be difficult to create a new session for every scan, what steps should I take to clear the memory of old scans after finishing every scan? I have tried these API calls for cleaning up but sites still show up in zap UI:
