I am writing a Python program in TKinter on Ubuntu to import and print the name of files from particular folder in Text widget. It is just adding filenames to the previous filnames in the Text widget, but I want to clear it first, then add a fresh list of filenames. But I am struggling to clear the Text widget's previous list of filenames.
Can someone please explain how to clear a Text widget?
Screenshoot and coding is giving below:
import os from Tkinter import * def viewFile(): path = os.path.expanduser("~/python") for f in os.listdir(path): tex.insert(END, f + "\n") if __name__ == '__main__': root = Tk() step= root.attributes('-fullscreen', True) step = LabelFrame(root, text="FILE MANAGER", font="Arial 20 bold italic") step.grid(row=0, columnspan=7, sticky='W', padx=100, pady=5, ipadx=130, ipady=25) Button(step, text="File View", font="Arial 8 bold italic", activebackground= "turquoise", width=30, height=5, command=viewFile).grid(row=1, column=2) Button(step, text="Quit", font="Arial 8 bold italic", activebackground= "turquoise", width=20, height=5, command=root.quit).grid(row=1, column=5) tex = Text(master=root) scr=Scrollbar(root, orient=VERTICAL, command=tex.yview) scr.grid(row=2, column=2, rowspan=15, columnspan=1, sticky=NS) tex.grid(row=2, column=1, sticky=W) tex.config(yscrollcommand=scr.set, font=('Arial', 8, 'bold', 'italic')) root.mainloop()

Type something inside the textbox, and then, click the “Delete” button. It will erase the content inside the textbox.
While creating a canvas in tkinter, it will effectively eat some memory which needs to be cleared or deleted. In order to clear a canvas, we can use the delete() method. By specifying “all”, we can delete and clear all the canvas that are present in a tkinter frame.
Build A Paint Program With TKinter and Python We can clear the content of Entry widget by defining a method delete(0, END) which aims to clear all the content in the range. The method can be invoked by defining a function which can be used by creating a Button Object.
Build A Paint Program With TKinter and Python If we want to clear the frame content or delete all the widgets inside the frame, we can use the destroy() method. This method can be invoked by targeting the children of the frame using winfo_children().
I checked on my side by just adding '1.0' and it start working
tex.delete('1.0', END) you can also try this

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
