While the best error practice is to handle all errors, there may be times (such as user defined errors,) where you may want to simply clear an error. LabVIEW has a built in function called "Clear Errors" that will clear any error in an error cluster. In order to selectively clear an error with this VI, you need to check the error cluster first for your specific error, and then use the "Clear Errors" function.

The attached example creates a new subVI that allows you to input a specific error (or array of errors,) and then clear the error cluster when the appropriate error code is seen in the error cluster. The subVI is implemented as a polymorphic VI and is a good example of dynamically adapting to terminal inputs as well. The input can either be a single numeric error code, or an array of numeric error codes to check and clear.

In the attached files, "ClearSpecificError(s)LV86.vi" is the polymorphic VI. Both "ClearSpecificErrorLV86.vi" and "ClearSpecificErrorsLV86.vi" are instances of the polymorphic VI. You must have all three VIs to use the polymorphic VI. The two instances can be used as simple subVIs.
