No. clearTimeout only needs to be called if you want to stop a pending setTimeout from happening. After the setTimeout happens, the timer id is no longer valid but fortunately calling clearTimeout with an invalid timer id is harmless.
If you see memory leaks happening the problem is somewhere else.
