Yes. When a process is killed, all of the memory it was using is released.

Of course not. Where do you see a connection between memory and your hard
drive?
Now, you can certainly fill your hard drive by running your little infinite
loop application and storing the results in a file:
python looper.py > saveme.txt
but I hope it is clear to you that this can't damage any of the data you
already have.

It gets released so that it can be re-used. I don't know what you mean by
"cleaned out". Remember that most of the systems where Python runs are
virtual memory systems, so even if one application is using a couple of
gigabytes of memory, other applications are still able to run.
