Is there a way to reset equipment that you choose at L1 character build? I went back to make different choices using the More> Starting Equipment link and inventory doubles.

Considering how people have looked at this thread, nobody knows. We don't want to post bad help. Seems like you just have to delete stuff or delete and start over. Counting the number of clicks and since it is lvl 1 character, creating new would be faster.

When you select the option to add starting equipment to your character, it does exactly that, but the system doesn't remember what you added, so there's no easy way to switch it to a different set of equipment. The way to approach this is to manually remove equipment, which should only be a few clicks, then add the new equipment.
ad a buggy homebrew item in my inventory. I deleted the item from my homebrew collection. It's still in my inventory zzz I still get an error selecting it, trying to remove it.
Not to intentionally necro an old thread here, but if you want to have a quick and easy way to clean up an inventory... These steps should work for you if you're using Chrome until they change the CSS. :P
Navigate to a character editor screen and expand the inventory section. After that, right-click and choose Inspect. Then, you'll see new panel in your browser should have opened called Elements. There should be a word next to Elements called Console. Click on Console and paste the following two jQuery commands:
I found this thread due to a similar issue. I copied a character so I could better see what he looked like with a different class and possibly background. I would like to be able to reset starting equipment so I could see what the starting equipment options are after the changes. Yes, I get that there is a different approach to get what I want, by creating a new sheet rather than copying the old one. Just wanted to add my voice to this perceived shortcoming, i.e., not being able to clear inventory and reselect standard starting equipment

You cannot clear your inventory with just one button, but you can already always select additional starting equipment. If you just click on <More> in the <5. Equipment> tab in the builder, it lets you select additional starting equipment.
In my opinion, creating a new master copy character sheet is one of the best ways to help manage your characters in general. When you create a new character sheet, name it to something like "Character Name — Master Copy", but do NOT give the master copy any starting equipment. After that, create copies of your master copy and adjust your starting equipment then. That way, each copy of the master copy will have a fresh inventory that you can play around with and adjust. Having master copies gives you a safe back up, allowing you to make a lot of disposable copies easily, so you do not have to reset your character sheet back to level 1 if you want to use that character in a new campaign.
once starting equipment has been chosen, you can I. Fact clear your inventory and select new starting equipment, but you have to do it on the character sheet itself, not the character builder. on the “equipment” tab of the Charavter sheet, if you click/tap the [Manage Equipment] button you can take new starting equipment. So, suppose you make your character and add starting equipment, and then decide to change your starting Class, Background, or both, you can simply delete all of your equipment (one item at a time unfortunately), and then grab new starting equipment appropriate for your new choices.

Or, from the character builder, go to the Equipment section, select "MORE" just below the tabs, and select "STARTING EQUIPMENT". This then returns to you to choosing equipment or gold. (However, you still need to delete all your old equipment beforehand.)

These two will expand all of your inventory and then trigger a click action on the Remove word thus clearing the inventory.
The page markup has changed a bit but this is still a super ingenuitive and useful method of clearing your inventory! Here's a new working method:
Open your character sheet in a desktop computer (this is probably not going to work on your mobile phone).
Click to open the "Inventory" panel, then click to open the "Manage Inventory" panel, then click to expand your "Equipment" container, plus any other containers your character has (like "Backpack").
Now, open the Console...
right-click anywhere in the screen and select "Inspect", or press F12, or try ctrl+shift+i.
Dev tools should show up. If not, you may need to first enable Developer Tools in your browser's options.
Now click to open the Console tab or try pressing esc to automatically open the Console.

Could we get a clear inventory button that in one click empties the inventory?
I'm having a similar issue trying to do this.

@dndbeyond You really ought to make this a one-click (with an "Are you sure?" confirmation) button within character builder as a QOL update!
hehehe
