    How to Create a Clear Clipboard Shortcut in Windows


    The clipboard is a temporary storage area used by Windows. Information (such as text, files, graphics, sound, or video) can be copied to the clipboard from one program or location and pasted elsewhere. The clipboard can only hold one piece of information at a time. Whenever something is copied to the clipboard, it automatically replaces whatever was there before.

    This tutorial will show you how to create or download a Clear Clipboard shortcut that will allow you to clear the contents of your clipboard as needed in Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.

    *note When you click/tap on the Clear Clipboard shortcut, a command prompt window will quickly open and close to indicate that it has cleared the contents of your clipboard.

    *note This will not clear your clipboard history data. It will only clear what is currently in the clipboard to paste.

  2. Clear Clipboard in Wondows 10

    How do I clear my Clipboard in Win 10? I've tried the "Create a shortcut>paste cmd /c "echo off | clip" into the location, click the shortcut to clear the Clipboard" method but it's not working for some reason. Are there any other methods?

    Clear Clipboard

    Hi Oaksavannah,

    In the current versions (CC) of Illustrator, there is no way to clear the clipboard - the old versions used to have Edit - Purge, but that was removed . . .

    Illustrator will automatically clear the clipboard when is closes

    You can minimize the size of the clipboard by adjusting the settings in Edit - Preferences - File Handling and Clipboard

    That's about all the control Adobe provids at the moment . . .
