this is an oop solution, init function creates widgets and the clear function deletes the text inside the entry. You can arrange the position of the widgets with pack(), grid() would also work.

here is a similar question: How to clear the Entry widget after a button is pressed in Tkinter?

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

class App(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.entryText = ttk.Entry(self)
        self.entryText.pack()
        self.XButton = ttk.Button(self, text="X-Button", command=self.clear_text).pack()

    def clear_text(self):
        self.entryText.delete(0, 'end')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.geometry('200x100')
    App(root).pack()
    root.mainloop()
