How to clear console history

It's possible to browse the commands previously run in the console by pressing the up and down arrow keys. I want to clear this history. How can I do this?

This is very simple, just right click the console window and select Clear console history, then refresh the page.

Please note, refreshing/reloading that tab is required.

I ended up here looking for how to do the same thing in Firefox.

In case anyone else does the same, there is a clearHistory command in the Firefox console which will do just that.

I found a quick way to do this with cool keyboard shortcut:

Inside chrome console

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + P
  2. You will see this awesome command palette opened: chrome devtools command palette
  3. type clear and you will find it :) chrome devtools: clear console history

That's it!

If you don't want to have this console history (like myself), simply disable it from the devtool's configuration options (see on the image) below ...

It can also be fixed by going to the developer tool settings and resetting to defaults.. (this will not reset 'Chrome', only developer tools options)

  • Open Chrome devtools
  • Go to settings (or press Windows ->F1 / OS X -> FN + F1)
  • Reset to the defaults

This way you will lose your developer settings, but for me the only thing that mattered was turning cache off again..

If you want to clear the list of last typed commands, follow these steps:

(Step 1 and 2 are important, don't skip them!)

  1. Undock the console (click on the icon in the bottom-left corner, undock icon).
    (if you don't see the undock icon, but , then hold the mouse pressed for a few seconds to get the desired icon)
  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + J to open the console for this console. (On OSX use Cmd + Option + i)
  3. Go to the Resources tab, "Local Storage", chrome-devtools://devtools.

  4. Right-click on the item with key "consoleHistory", and choose "Delete". chrome-devtools://devtools -> consoleHistory -> Delete

  5. Done! You may close the new console, and then dock the previous one if wanted. The console history will be gone when you reload the console.

If you just want to clear the console log (not the commands), just press Ctrl + L.

You could also use Incognito mode if you don't want to keep the list of commands you're going to type.

Simply enter clear() in the chrome console to remove all previous text there.
