Use Page.Findcontrol to get a reference to usercontrol and then use usercontrol .findcontrol to get access to usercontrol controls like textbox....
Another way would be define public method/properties in user control and clear the text...

you can do it by just redirecting to the same page. It will refresh the page and reload it from the begining and all the previous data will not show again.
If you dont want to redirect your page then you will have to clear all the controls on save button's click event.
Or else show your code for better understanding and suggestion for a different solution.

@Ria12
Implement a public method called "ResetEmployee" or "ClearEmployeeInfo" something in your user control. This method should "clear"/reset any information.

For example:

Public Sub ClearEmployeeInfo()
  txt_firstName.Text = ""
  txt_lastName.Text = ""
  txt_employeeNumber.Text = ""
  txt_phoneNumber.Text = ""
  txt_address.Text = ""
//.......
End Sub

Since this method is Public you can call it from your main page code (say in your save button click):

Private Sub btn_Save_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_Save.Click
//....save data
   myUserControlInstance.ClearEmployeeInfo()
 
End Sub
