How to make a status be shown only once, before downloading video using yt-dlp, and constantly undating the status above?

Question

I want to create a script which will download videos using yt-dlp, and show it beatifully in console.

c = Console()
with c.status("[bold blue]Downloading video...", spinner='bounce') as status:
        with yt_dlp.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
            info_dict = ydl.extract_info(link, download=True)
            downloaded_file_path = ydl.prepare_filename(info_dict)
c.print(f"[bold green]Video [i u blue]{downloaded_file_path}[/i u blue] downloaded![/bold green]")

I expected to have output like this: (don't mind that video, i just used it for test)

So, it is duplicated several types! Also, is there a way to delete status from console after downloading the video?
