A lot of answers ask you to use END  but if that s not working for you  try  text delete  quot 1 0 quot    quot end-1c quot

for me  1 0  didn t work  but  0  worked  This is Python 2 7 12  just FYI  Also depends on how you import the module  Here s how   import Tkinter as tk window   tk Tk   textBox   tk Entry window  textBox pack     And the following code is called when you need to clear it  In my case there was a button Save that saves the data from the Entry text box and after the button is clicked  the text box is cleared  textBox delete  0  tk END

from Tkinter import    app   Tk      Text Widget   Font Size txt   Text app  font   Verdana  8   txt pack      Delete Button btn   Button app  text  Delete   command lambda  txt delete 1 0 END   btn pack    app mainloop     Here s an example of txt delete 1 0 END  as mentioned   The use of lambda makes us able to delete the contents without defining an actual function

I think this  text delete  quot 1 0 quot   tkinter END   Or if you did from tkinter import   text delete  quot 1 0 quot   END   That should work

According to the tkinterbook the code to clear a text element should be   text delete 1 0 END    This worked for me  source  It s different from clearing an entry element  which is done like this    entry delete 0 END   note the 0 instead of 1 0
