How to reset input type file using javascript

Question

I want to reset the contents of my file input:

<input type="file" id="uploadCaptureInputFile" class="win-content colors" accept="image/*" />

How should I do that?

Hello @kartik,

You need to wrap <input type = “file”> in to <form> tags and then you can reset input by resetting your form:

onClick="this.form.reset()"

Hope it helps!!
Thank You!!

Using JavaScript you can also do that as follows.

document.getElementById("#control").value = "";
