You can position on the line you want to clear and then call clrtoeol function.

This is how I ended up doing it for my purposes.
int y, x; // to store where you are getyx(stdscr, y, x); // save current pos move(y, 0); // move to begining of line clrtoeol(); // clear line move(y, x); // move back to where you were

any chance you know how to do this in vertical scope? meaning clear all lines until last line
maybe crltoeol would do the trick

If you want to clear all lines from the cursor until the last line, you can call clrtobot()
