Overview

Empties the entire inventory of the NPC or container you have clicked on in the console. Adding a target reference as an argument transfers the items to that reference instead of deleting them. It is commonly used to disarm an enemy or clear a follower before re-equipping them. Use carefully on quest-relevant characters.
