Flush Livewire session property

Hi, I have a form property in my full page component:

#[Session(key: 'nomineeForm')]
public NomineeForm $nomineeForm;

It's a simple Livewire Form:

class NomineeForm extends Form
{
    #[Validate(['required', 'string', 'max:255'])]
    public string $name = '';

    #[Validate(['required', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:nominations,email'])]
    public string $email = '';

    #[Validate(['required', 'string', 'max:255'])]
    public string $company_name = '';
}

Everything works fine, but I would like to clear this session after the form is submitted. I've tried adding the forget function to my submit method, but when I reload the page, the form is still prefilled and the session still exists:

session()->forget('nomineeForm');

When I add dd(session()->all()); after this forget line, I don't see my nomineeForm session, but when the page is reloaded, it's still there. I also tried session()->flush(); but got the same result.

It's just simple method calling action and trying to clear session.

Here is the full livewire page.

<?php

namespace App\Livewire;

use App\Actions\CreateNominationAction;
use App\Livewire\Forms\Nomination\NomineeForm;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View;
use Livewire\Attributes\Session;
use Livewire\Component;

class NewNomination extends Component
{
    public ?string $type;

    #[Session(key: 'nomineeForm')]
    public NomineeForm $nomineeForm;

    public function setType(string $type): void
    {
        $this->type = $type;
    }

    public function submit(): void
    {
        app(CreateNominationAction::class)->run(
            type: $this->type,
            nomineeForm: $this->nomineeForm,
        );
        
        session()->forget('nomineeForm');
        session()->flush();
    }

    public function render(): View
    {
        return view('livewire.nomination')
            ->layout('layouts.app');
    }
}

And submit is fired from blade.

<form wire:submit.prevent="submit">

I figured out that there's no need to call session()->forget() or any other session-related methods. Simply calling reset() on the form object does the job:

public function submit(): void
{
    app(CreateNominationAction::class)->run(
        type: $this->type,
        nomineeForm: $this->nomineeForm,
    );

    $this->nomineeForm->reset();
}
