Thanks for the bug report.
First please look in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell and ensure there is
no directory named 'extensions'. If there is one then remove it and log
in again.
Similarly please open the 'Extensions' app and ensure you only find the
three Ubuntu extensions listed.

Title:
gnome-shell leaks mem, 1.3G reserved after few days of uptime
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
gnome-shell leaks memory like crazy. after 4 days of uptime it uses
13.8G virt and 1.3G reserved mem. This is after I switched to wayland
to mitigate the same issue, but on X.org it was much more crazier -
about 20G virt / 1.5G reserved after one-two days of uptime, only the
leak was in X.org process (2 of them, greeter and main), not gnome-
shell.
p.s. I do understand that gnome is the best piece of software, and I just use
it incorrectly - likely I have some extension or application that is at fault.
The bug report is sort of rhetorical.
p.p.s. Unmodified LTS system (focal). Started to manifest about a
month ago, out of the blue, no changes...
