[Feature Request] Clear Layer

select layer

Ctrl-A 

Delete key

Quick workaround: add layer mask, invert layer mask, right-click on mask and apply mask. That will quickly clear layers without you having to rename anything or erase.

Awesome.

FYI - I found that I could use the selection tool the select the entirety of the layer, then the Erase option while the selection tool was enabled, and that cleared the layer without deleting it.  So, that's a second way to clear a layer.

Hi Hew. 

Right now, deleting a layer and creating a new one is the only way to clear.

But, some way to clear a layer of all its content, without having to delete it, is a functionality that's being considered.
