`TempData["whateveryouwanttoclear"] = string.empty` or `null`? — Kritner, Oct 06 '16 at 14:00
Why do you need to clean it up? Perhaps `Cache` is a better choice than `TempData`? — D Stanley, Oct 06 '16 at 14:02
after one request tempdata will dispose itself then why you need to clear if — MMM, Oct 06 '16 at 14:10

Could you also check [TempData won't destroy after second request](http://stackoverflow.com/a/12815759/3060520) – huse.ckr Oct 06 '16 at 14:25

Alternative way of removing TempData, when using dynamic key name,

Eg:

UserModel model = new UserModel(); //Declare
model.UserId = 12;
model.UserName = "Karthik";
TempData["UserModel_" + model.UserId] = model.UserModel; //Assign

To get value from TempData,

UserModel model = new UserModel(); //Declare
model.UserId = 12;
model = (UserModel)TempData["UserModel_" + model.UserId];  //Get
TempData.Keep("UserModel_" + model.UserId);

Remove TempData without knowing dynamic key name,

foreach (var key in TempData.Keys.ToList())
{
    TempData.Remove(key);   
}

Why not just use `TempData.Clear()` for the last bit? – Evan LaHurd Jan 12 '18 at 20:03
