    The `clear()` method removes all locally stored Suki sessions from the device. The primary use case is to clear user-specific data when a user signs out of your application, ensuring data privacy and preparing the SDK for a new user session.

    You cannot call `clear()` during an active session; it will throw an error. Always ensure no sessions are active before calling this method.

**What will you learn?**

In this guide, you will learn how to:

* Clear all locally stored Suki sessions from the device by calling the `clear()` method.
* Handle errors from the `clear()` method.

## Clear all sessions

Remove all locally stored Suki sessions from the device by calling the `clear()` method.

The primary use case for this method is to **clear user-specific data** when a user **signs out** of your application. This ensures data privacy and prepares the SDK for a new user session.

<Warning>
  Do not call the `clear()` method during an **active session**; this will throw an error.
</Warning>

<CodeGroup>
  ```swift Swift theme={"theme":{"light":"github-dark","dark":"material-theme-darker"}}
  do {
      // Removes all persisted session data from the device.
      try SukiAmbientCore.shared.clear()
  } catch {
      // Handle potential errors.
      print(error)
  }
  ```
