If you’ve turned on Clipboard History, you can use the feature itself to wipe all the items on the clipboard.
To do that, press Windows+V on your keyboard. You’ll see your clipboard and all the saved items on it. To clear these items, in the open window’s top-right corner, click the “Clear All” button.
If you want to save something from your clipboard before wiping it off, do so before clicking Clear All. Selecting that button immediately erases everything stored on the clipboard.
