Right now if I copy something on my system, I can paste it in vim by doing:
"*p
However, if before pasting it, I delete something in vim, when typing "*p, I get what I just deleted.
How can I avoid that?

2Do you have something like `set clipboard=unnamed` in your vimrc? If you do remove it. – FDinoff May 02 '14 at 17:47

I agree with @FDinoff, although it might be set somewhere other than your vimrc file. Try `:verbose set cb?` to find the current setting and where it was set. – benjifisher May 02 '14 at 19:49

You can use the black hole register
"_d
In Vim is there a way to delete without putting text in the register?
