That is very relevant. I don’t use Jupyter but took the liberty of googling for you:

1. For Python [the solution seems to be](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24816237/ipython-notebook-clear-cell-output-in-code) to call `clear_output` to remove previous output
2. This function is apparently available in IJulia.jl as well  
[Way to programmatically clear last println() statement in Jupyter cell? - #2 by djsegal](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/way-to-programmatically-clear-last-println-statement-in-jupyter-cell/3582/2)
3. However that thread is quite old and apparently it broke some time ago. The comment about it breaking is quite old itself by now. So I suggest you try this and report back if it doesn’t work

Edit: there is an [open issue](https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/issues/1066) about this. Maybe @MilesCranmer can comment if there is a known workaround. @Paul_Warburton if it still doesn’t work then consider commenting on the issue I linked to draw attention to it.
