Answer 1

I think this is what you want to do:

take the cursor one line up and delete the line

this can be done like using the code below

import sys
import time

def delete_last_line():
    "Use this function to delete the last line in the STDOUT"

    #cursor up one line
    sys.stdout.write('\x1b[1A')

    #delete last line
    sys.stdout.write('\x1b[2K')


########## FOR DEMO ################
if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("hello")
    print("this line will be delete after 2 seconds")
    time.sleep(2)
    delete_last_line()
####################################

Answer 2

import os
os.system('cls')

Or os.system('clear') on unix (mac and linux). If you don't want the scroll up either, then you can do this:

os.system("printf '\033c'") should get rid of scroll back too. Something that works on all systems:

import os
os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else "printf '\033c'")

Answer 3

import os
os.system('clear')

It Works. Clears your thing Just Fine.

Answer 4

import time
Dots = "."
total = 0
count = 0
while count < 5:
    if total<1:
        print("[+]Saving" + Dots,end="")
    total+=1
    time.sleep(1)
    print(Dots,end="")

This code works perfectly fine...

Answer 5

Well; i have a temporary way:-

print('Hey', end = '')

for i in range(4):
    print('\b', end = '')
print('How is your day?')
