Quick android driving question

Gillian Densmore
Not litterly!

Is there a way to clear out stuff running in the background?  
For example after I've finished a routine call then hang up.When I switch  back to what ever I might have been doing. Phone is still running.

I feel like I'm missing a basic button so as I don't unintionally end up with like 90000 apps running at the sametime.

Press the soft button to the left of the home button. This pops up a
kind of task manager with a list of running tasks. Swipe on a task to
end the task.

Works on my Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace running Android 4.4.4. This feature is
fairly new, so YMMV. On my previous phone, you had to do it through
the application manager (in settings), and it was a PITA.

Cheers
