Usage Guidelines
Use the monitor capture clear command either during capture or after the capture has stopped either because
one or more end conditions has been met, or you entered the monitor capture stop command. If you enter
the monitor capture clear command after the capture has stopped, the monitor capture export command
that is used to store the contents of the captured packets in a file will have no impact because the buffer has
no captured packets.
If you have more than one capture that is storing packets in a buffer, clear the buffer before starting a new
capture to avoid memory loss.

Device# monitor capture mycap clear
