Clearing Linux Terminal

Clearing and Resetting the Linux Terminal:


The terminal window begins to look crowded very quickly. You can always exit from the terminal window and open a new one, but there is a quicker and easier way to remove the contents displayed in the terminal.
To clear the linux terminal, enter the command clear at the shell prompt. The clear command clears the terminal, leaving only a new shell prompt at the top of the window.

You can also clear the screen using the keystroke [Ctrl]-[L].
