Yes there is, but it doesn't do anything: erc-cmd-CLEAR
Supposed to "Clear the window content", but the code reads:
(defun erc-cmd-CLEAR ()
"Clear the window content."
(recenter 0)
t)
(put 'erc-cmd-CLEAR 'process-not-needed t)
So not only does it not clear the window, but it seems to be disabled.
Anyway, I like to clear out the buffer so I can reduce my memory footprint.
If there is anything important in it, I usually grab it and put it into an org
file.
