How to unload C++ interface (of shared library)

Hello,
I have been testing the automatically generated C++ interface but ran into few problems (split into separate questions) (other question Link).
How do I unload a C++ library/interface?
The good ol' clear("all") did not help.
Even after deleting the folder containing the library (in my case containing the `testInterface.so`) the lib/interface is still usable (so I am guessing that it is loaded into memory).
This has been really confusing in my testing, because it is not possible to use the same interface name more than once, for example in a different folder (for testing, of course in usage one should pick one unique name).
So far I could only "unload" the lib via restarting MATLAB.
I looked at the docu of clib but could not find any info.
Thanks for your help!

Can we have someone from MW to comment on this, please? Everytime I want to rebuild the interface, I need to quit MATLAB to unload the package.
