Clear Button wont work with Upload in AngularJs

I am new to AngularJs and am currently working on creating a file upload script. I searched the web and combined a few scripts to achieve the code below.

My problem is that the clear button should clear the filename on click and remove the file from the queue.

<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.6/angular.min.js"></script>   

</head>

<body ng-app = "myApp">

  <div ng-controller = "myCtrl">

     <input type = "file" file-model = "myFile" file-select="file"/>

    <button ng-click="clear()">clear</button>
     <button ng-click = "uploadFile()">upload me</button>
  </div>

  <script>
     var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

     app.controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', 'fileUpload', 'fileSelect', function($scope, fileUpload, fileSelect){
        $scope.uploadFile = function(){
           var file = $scope.myFile;

           console.log('file is ' );
           console.dir(file);

           var uploadUrl = "/fileUpload";
           fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file, uploadUrl);
        };

            $scope.clear = function() {
            $scope.file = null;
            };
        }]);

     app.directive('fileModel', ['$parse', function ($parse) {
        return {
           restrict: 'A',
           link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
              var model = $parse(attrs.fileModel);
              var modelSetter = model.assign;

              element.bind('change', function(){
                 scope.$apply(function(){
                    modelSetter(scope, element[0].files[0]);
                 });
              });
           }

        };
     }]);

    app.directive('fileSelect', function() {

            return function( scope, elem, attrs ) {
                var selector = $parse(attrs.fileSelect);
                var modelSelector = elem.append(selector);

                selector.bind('change', function( event ) {
                    scope.$apply(function() {
                        scope[ attrs.fileSelect ] = event.originalEvent.target.files;
                    });
                });
                scope.$watch(attrs.fileSelect, function(file) {
                selector.val(file);
                });
            };
    });

     app.service('fileUpload', ['$http', function ($http) {
        this.uploadFileToUrl = function(file, uploadUrl){
           var fd = new FormData();
           fd.append('file', file);

           $http.post(uploadUrl, fd, {
              transformRequest: angular.identity,
              headers: {'Content-Type': undefined}
           })

           .success(function(){
           })

           .error(function(){
           });
        }
     }]);



   </script>

 </body>
</html>

clear function should be defined as below

$scope.clear = function () {
    angular.element("input[type='file']").val(null);
};

Check the snippet below.

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

	app.controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope){
		$scope.uploadFile = function(){
			var file = $scope.myFile;

			console.log('file is ' );
			console.dir(file);

			var uploadUrl = "/fileUpload";
			fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file, uploadUrl);
		};

		$scope.clear = function () {
			angular.element("input[type='file']").val(null);
		};

	}]);
	<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>

<body ng-app = "myApp">

	<div ng-controller = "myCtrl">

		<input type = "file" ng-model = "myFile" file-select="file"/>

		<button ng-click="clear()">clear</button>
	</div>
  </body>
