I have cleared it vs I had cleared it

Both options are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I have cleared it' indicates that the action of clearing something was completed recently or is still relevant in the present. On the other hand, 'I had cleared it' indicates that the speaker cleared something before a specific point in the past.
