How To Clear The Clipboard History Easily

The clipboard is a temporary storage area used when the user cuts or copies text or other data to move it from one place to another. The copied information remains available for pasting. It is there until you shut down your PC or copy something that replaces the current data. This function, which we usually use with the shortcuts CTRL + C and CTRL + V, sometimes does not work properly.

For example, the error I often encounter when using an image editor is that the image copied to the clipboard gets stuck there. When I try to copy another image, the old image on the clipboard always comes back with CTRL + V. Pressing the ESC key does not work either, and worst of all, a similar error occurs in messaging software and in the browser. I copy a new URL and send it to a friend, but the old URL or data in the clipboard goes to the friend, this is extremely annoying. For privacy and security reasons, some Windows 11 users may want to clear their clipboard data and clipboard history.
