In fact, if you already have populated error, you can explore what to do
with it pretty easily:

$error | Get-Member
$error.PSBase | Get-Member

Hi,

Yes you can.

Run this in RC2

$Count = $Error.Count

Then run this:

$Error.RemoveRange(0,$Count)

$Error.Count is now 0.

Are there any differences between using "$Error.RemoveRange(...)" and
"$Error.Clear()"?
I think "Clear()" seems to do the job for me though.
I would appreciate it if there are any subtle differences between those
two.

If you want to clear it, then using .Clear() is almost certainly the
best way to go. It should be functionally equivalent to using
RemoveRange(), but using Clear() is shorter, more intuitive, and
probably more efficient (in a too-small to notice way, though). :-)
