How to Clean the clipboard in Windows 7

The clipboard (Bo) contains the latest copied or cut data. If this data is significant in volume, this may lead to the braking of the system. In addition, the user can copy passwords or other confidential data. If this information is not removed from Bo, it will be available for other users. In this case, it is necessary to clean the clipboard. Let's see how it can be done on computers running Windows 7.

This method is good because the CCleaner program is still not highly specialized, and therefore installed in many users. Therefore, especially for this task does not have to upload an additional software. In addition, at the same time other components of the system can be cleaned with the cleaning buffer of the exchange.

Thus, if the BO contains information on many megabytes, in order to be removed and replaced with less volume of data, enough to make a new copy. This procedure can be performed, for example, in notebook.

In this screen shot is performed (screenshot) which is placed in BO, thereby replacing old content. Of course, in this case, the screenshot image takes a greater place in the buffer than a small text, but, acting in a similar way, you do not need to run a notebook or another program, and just press one key.

Method 5: "Command String"

But the above method is still semi-dimensional, since it does not fully clean the clipboard, but only replaces the voluminous data on information relatively small size.
