I do not think you can.

When your application loads the DLL, it will remain in memory and stay there until your application closes.

The OS will then at some point in time clean up, and bin this cached library.

If you are testing and getting conflicts with in memory libraries, then I have previously found it necessary to shutdown and restart the computer to take it back to a clean state.
