How do I clear the capture window in Wireshark?

Question

Is there a way to clear the capture window in Wireshark without restarting the capture or re-applying the filter? It's difficult to tell one set of traffic from another without looking very closely at the timestamp.

Answer 1

I don't see a way to clear the window, but hitting 'Restart the running live capture' seems to work.

You can therefore clear the window in WireShark by doing one of the following:

• Clicking on the green shark-fin to the right of the red Stop button
• Clicking on Capture > Restart
• Hitting Ctrl-R.
