Deleting text from the Clipboard

I used the 3 finger quadruple tap and then the rota to paste the text which all worked, but now I find the text appearing everywhere, can I go into the clipboard and delete the text or how can I remove and stop the text showing up everywhere?

Rebooting your phone normally clears this sort of thing up.

What I would do personally is just put a space into the notes app and copy that to the clipboard.

Better to have one little space than a bunch of text that keeps popping up everywhere.

Thanks the reboot seems to have worked

I think this may be a VOiceOver issue, so restarting VoiceOver may work as well-sometimes VO will anounce things that it shouldn't when I explore by touch and restarting it fixes the issue.

Sometimes it's the exact opposite (text being removed from clipboard right when I need it) that I complain about. So apparently it's the device and OS that decides how long to keep anything and when to get rid of it, likely depending on how much memory it currently has.
