Is there a way to clear the $Error variable that tracks errors in a PowerShell session?
If so, how do you do it?
I have tried: $error.clear
In the PowerShell ISE on Windows 7 and the $Error array is still populated.

Notes. To delete a variable, along with its value, use Remove-Variable or Remove-Item . This cmdlet does not delete the values of variables that are set as constants or owned by the system, even if you use the Force parameter. If the variable that you are clearing does not exist, the cmdlet has no effect.
Use the try block to define a section of a script in which you want PowerShell to monitor for errors. When an error occurs within the try block, the error is first saved to the $Error automatic variable. PowerShell then searches for a catch block to handle the error.
$? Contains the execution status of the last command. It contains True if the last command succeeded and False if it failed. For cmdlets and advanced functions that are run at multiple stages in a pipeline, for example in both process and end blocks, calling this.
It is a .NET method call so you need parens:
