I have some input history in the WebConsole (DevTools) that I want to be deleted. The usual Ctrl-Shift-Delete "deletion" form does not help here, as the history of the WebConsole input is still there. What could I do?

@cor-el Thank you! Your search kungfu is better then mine.

The link in "see also" is broken for me, this works: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Tools/Web_Console#Helper_commands

The automatic redirect on MDN doesn't always work properly if the article isn't supported in your detected locale (I've added /en/ to the my above post to force a locale).

I remembered that had this info in my docs, so I merely needed to do a search.
