By adding up after a verb can form new verbs which sometimes has different meaning than the original word. Sometimes doesn’t add anything to the meaning but more of as idea of completion.
For ex:
To clear = to tidy, to erase.
To clear up = to explain.
There is no exact rule actually, you have to learn each combination.
