I'm trying to clear out my view models after a flow through a couple of fragments has completed. When navigating from the last fragment in the flow to the start screen, I call viewModelStore.clear() which as far as I understand, should clear out all view models. However, if I go through the flow again, data from the previous flow is persisted.

            actionButton.setOnClickListener {
            viewModelStore.clear()
            findNavController().navigate(R.id.action_global_startScreenFragment)
        }

I tried to move the clear call into onDestroy and onDestroyView in my fragment as well, but nothing changes.

Am I misunderstanding something about clearing view models, or could someone maybe help me to understand the issue?
