Thanks for reporting this...This is not an isolated issue to the PowerShell Integrated Console issue...if you open up a regular "PowerShell" terminal in VSCode - note that this is the PowerShell console. Execute 1..100 and then cls. Note that you can still scroll back through the terminal history. This is a function of the terminal feature in VSCode. You can clear that terminal history using Ctrl+k. See microsoft/vscode#50225 for more details.
I have some PR's out to address this since it's highly requested - https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/pull/2316
[System.Console]::Clear() should work. Not ideal, but should still do the needful.
Thank you for your comment, but please note that this issue has been closed for over a week. For better visibility, consider opening a new issue with a link to this instead.
Issue Description
Clear-Host does not clear the powershell terminal window, but appears to do so. If you scroll up, there's a bunch of text that shouldn't be there.
Run the following code a couple of times and scroll around to see:
