I forgot the jQuery command that will clear all list elements from a list.

I forgot the jQuery command that will clear all list elements from a list. I did a bit of searching, done it a bunch of times before, but just simply forgot the command.

$("ul").clear()
$("ul").empty()

both didn’t seem to accomplish this.. which command is it again?

UPDATE:
Thanks guys, I must have some syntax error on my selector.

    $("ul").empty() works fine. Is there some other error?

    $('input').click(function() {
      $('ul').empty()
    });
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <ul>
      <li>test</li>
      <li>test</li>
    </ul>
    
    <input type="button" value="click me" />
