Clipboard Presse-papiers

Hello everyone.
I'd like to know how to delete the clipboard. It saves everything, even passwords, which is a security concern.

At least disable it.

regards

Disable clipboard history:
Right-click the clipboard icon in the system tray (Klipper icon).
Click Configure Clipboard…
Uncheck:
“Save clipboard contents”
Apply → OK
This completely stops Plasma from storing clipboard history.

or

Clear clipboard history manually
Click the clipboard icon → Clear history
or press:
Meta + V - then click the trash icon
