Can Console.Clear be used to only clear a line instead of whole console?

by

Description

You can use the Console.SetCursorPosition function to go to a specific line number. Then you can use this function to clear the line:

public static void ClearCurrentConsoleLine()
{
    int currentLineCursor = Console.CursorTop;
    Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop);
    Console.Write(new string(' ', Console.WindowWidth)); 
    Console.SetCursorPosition(0, currentLineCursor);
}

Sample

Console.WriteLine("Test");
Console.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.CursorTop - 1);
ClearCurrentConsoleLine();
