LinkedList clear() Method in Java

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

In Java, the clear() is used to remove all the elements from a LinkedList. This method only clears all the element from the list and not deletes the list. After calling this method, the list will be empty.

void clear()

• Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter.
• Return type: This method does not return any value.

Example: Here, we use the clear() method to remove elements from the LinkedList.

// Java programm to demomstrate the 
// working of clear() in LinkedList
import java.util.LinkedList;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[]) {

        // Creating an empty LinkedList
        LinkedList<String> l = new LinkedList<>();

        // Using add() method to add 
        // elements in the LinkedList
        l.add("Geeks");
        l.add("for");
        l.add("Geeks");

        System.out.println("Original LinkedList: " + l);

        // Clearing the LinkedList
        l.clear();

        // Accessing the LinkedList 
        // after clearing it
        System.out.println(
            "List after clearing all elements: " + l);

    }
}

Original LinkedList: [Geeks, for, Geeks]
List after clearing all elements: []
