How can I clear search field input after leaving a dynamic page?

Could you help with expanding on how to use the “local.clea()” or something similar to clear a search field on exiting a result page? The search word is stored in local (set.Item) and sent to another page with wixlocation and retrieved with (getItem). Thanks

J.D. -Thanks and appreciate the response. I had seen those references earlier. The issue is the stored data is used to search as soon as the page loads. I want to clear the store data afterwards.

The same question was asked about a year ago and there was no clear answer. please see:

@freddy so retrieve the data when the search page loads, and then delete it from the storage.

@jonatandor35 Exactly! Can you please suggest the construct of the code? My knowledge is limited to learning on this forum.

@freddy on the search page:

import { local } from 'wix-storage';
let retrievedSearch = local.getItem("item");
local.removeItem("item");
//then use retrievedSearch to run the search
