The following example shows both uses of the clearMarks() method.

function clear_mark(name) {
  if (performance.clearMarks === undefined) {
    console.log("performance.clearMarks Not supported");
    return;
  }
  // Remove all "mark" performance entry types with the specified name
  performance.clearMarks(name);
}
function clear_all_marks() {
  if (performance.clearMarks === undefined) {
    console.log("performance.clearMarks Not supported");
    return;
  }
  // Remove all "mark" type performance entries from the performance buffer
