I can't seem to find the function to remove a shape or path from the canvas after it has been created.

So I'm creating a bezier curve between 2 points with

beginPath();
bezierCurveTo();
stroke();
closePath();

. How can I remove this from the canvas once it's been created? I need to be able to call the remove function via toggle() and blur(). I'm sure something exists for this...

Thanks in advance for any help!
