How can I erase the old data from logcat?

Question

when I run the command adb logcat while running the android emulator, all of the old logs blow past and so I figure they are stored in a file somewhere. Is there a command I can run to clear the logs and start fresh? If not, is there some other way to do this?

Answer 1

Have you tried

 adb logcat -c
