How do I clear cout text in c++?

I've written some code that uses cout a bunch of times and I'm wondering how I could clear the generated text. Thanks in advance :)

It works on PC, but not on the SoloLearn app. Might as well start programming c++ on PC.

ohh yeah, definitely. Do not bother with c++ on the app, writing on PC gives you that full potential

Sorry but I can't get it to work. clrscr() gives an error saying it hasn't been declared, even though I have #include <conio.h>. /r doesn't do anything. I also tried some other stuff from the links, but they also failed. For the record, I'm coding in the SoloLearn app.
