In Vim, you can clear the last search highlighting by using the **:nohlsearch** command. This command turns off the highlighting of the last search pattern. Here are the steps:

1. Press the colon (**:**) key to enter command mode.
2. Type **nohlsearch** and press Enter.

Alternatively, you can use the shortcut command **:noh** to clear the search highlighting. Here are the steps:

1. Press the colon (**:**) key to enter command mode.
2. Type **noh** and press Enter.

Both commands will clear the search highlighting and remove any highlighting of the last search pattern.
