C# | Dictionary.Clear Method

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

This method is used to remove all key/value pairs from the Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.

Syntax: 
public void Clear ();

Below are the programs to illustrate the use of above-discussed method:

Example 1: csharp 
// C# code to remove all pairs
// from Dictionary
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Create a new dictionary of
        // strings, with string keys.
        Dictionary<string, string> myDict = 
          new Dictionary<string, string>();

        // Adding key/value pairs in myDict
        myDict.Add("Australia", "Canberra");
        myDict.Add("Belgium", "Brussels");
        myDict.Add("Netherlands", "Amsterdam");
        myDict.Add("China", "Beijing");
        myDict.Add("Russia", "Moscow");
        myDict.Add("India", "New Delhi");

        // To get count of key/value pairs in myDict
        Console.WriteLine("Total key/value pairs "+
                "in myDict are : " + myDict.Count);

        // Remove all pairs from the Dictionary
        myDict.Clear();

        Console.WriteLine("After clear operation");

        // To get count of key/value pairs in myDict
        Console.WriteLine("Total key/value pairs in"+
                   " myDict  are : " + myDict.Count);
    }
}
Output: 
Total key/value pairs in myDict are : 6
After clear operation
Total key/value pairs in myDict  are : 0
Example 2: csharp 
// C# code to remove all pairs
// from Dictionary
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Create a new dictionary of 
        // strings, with string keys.
        Dictionary<int, int> myDict =
           new Dictionary<int, int>();

        // Adding key/value pairs in myDict
        myDict.Add(9, 8);
        myDict.Add(3, 4);
        myDict.Add(4, 7);
        myDict.Add(1, 7);

        // To get count of key/value pairs in myDict
        Console.WriteLine("Total key/value pairs "+
                "in myDict are : " + myDict.Count);

        // Remove all pairs from the Dictionary
        myDict.Clear();

        Console.WriteLine("After clear operation");

        // To get count of key/value pairs in myDict
        Console.WriteLine("Total key/value pairs"+
             " in myDict  are : " + myDict.Count);
    }
}
Output: 
Total key/value pairs in myDict are : 4
After clear operation
Total key/value pairs in myDict  are : 0
