You can call clear, and that will destroy all the objects, but that will not free the memory. Looping through the individual elements will not help either (what action would you even propose to take on the objects?) What you can do is this:
vector<tempObject>().swap(tempVector);
That will create an empty vector with no memory allocated and swap it with tempVector, effectively deallocating the memory.
C++11 also has the function shrink_to_fit, which you could call after the call to clear(), and it would theoretically shrink the capacity to fit the size (which is now 0). This is however, a non-binding request, and your implementation is free to ignore it.
