In the window whose scrollback you want to delete, set the scrollback to

Yes, that's a limitation of screen. There's a hack to preserve your
splits, though:
I'm still not sure what the best method of submitting a bug report is, so
I'll shoot this out here.
If you use 'caption always' and subsequently invoke 'blanker', the caption
