Clipboard plays an important role in computers and it can hold only a single piece of information at a time. Suppose you have copied a text and wan to paste it somewhere, then a copy of the text is saved temporarily in the clip board. If instead of pasting it, you copy another piece of text, then the clipboard will clear the previous text and will hold the new text. So when you paste the content, you see the new content gets pasted. This is how clipboard works. You can clear the clipboard from time o time in order to remove temporary files and unnecessary things. The following tutorial will help you to create a clear clipboard shortcut in Windows 10.<\/p>\n<h2>Steps to Create a \u2018Clear Clipboard\u2019 Shortcut in Windows 10<\/h2>\n<p>1.
