swap question

A swap question.....

Is swap space "automagically" cleared periodically
or:

Does the application that uses it have to free that space?

Is the only way to clear a reboot?

The reason I ask is that swap space is being shown at 33% used
for the past two days with no change.

At certain times, there is plenty of available memory free.

Thanks!
