Clearing a line in the console

Question

How can a line in the console be cleared in C#?

I know how to place the cursor at the beginning of a line:

Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop         


        

Answer 1

(Combining at.toulan and Andrew's answers here.)

Simplest is, to overwrite over the last line:

Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop - 1)
Console.WriteLine("new line of text");

If "new line of text" is shorter than the text that was there before, write spaces before writing your text, like Andrew says.
