Clearing error codes after a fix

Replaced the solenoid pack on my 4R100 transmission and the truck runs like new again, but the error codes are still there on my Bluedriver scan tool.
Am a bit mystified, any ideas ?

get the free ForScan app and use it to clear all DTCs

https://forscan.org/home.html

if you have a Windows laptop, get the USB wired adapter for the laptop.
that gives all of the functions of ForScan

I read you can disconnect the negative battery cable and then jumper or connect the negative to the positive cable for 5 to 10 minutes and clears everything. Have to re-learn shift points etc. Is this correct? I have two codes that forscan won't clear that I may have fixed after one of my 4x4 hubs came loose.

that works also, it takes a while for the Capacitors in the PCM to bleed down...
well, at least it works on my Suburban, never tried on my 7.3L because I have a CTS-3 and it can read the PIDs and clear the codes.
