I am not sure why back space is used here but to clear input fields can use clear, in java

 driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".required")).clear();

if sendkeys does not works, some time initial click then sendkeys work well

    driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".required")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".required")).sendKeys("data here");

I hope required wait is provided.

Thank You, Murali
