Where does clipman save copied information

I am trying to delete a specific line of copied text, but do not want to clear all history.  Assuming there is a file where xfce4-popup-clipman pulls data from but can't find anything.  Any suggestions?

Re: Where does clipman save copied information

I found a file located at

/home/username/.cache/xfce4/clipman/textsrc

which has all the copied text in it, but deleting the text from that file doesn't seem to change what shows up in xfce4-popup-clipman even after logout/login.  However, if I delete the entire file, then logout/login, xfce4-popup-clipman is empty.

It seems like this textsrc file is linking to another file somewhere.
