Avoid vim to overwrite system register

Question

Right now if I copy something on my system, I can paste it in vim by doing:

"*p

However, if before pasting it, I delete something in vim, when typing "*p, I get what I just deleted.

How can I avoid that?

Answer 1

You can use the black hole register

"_d 

In Vim is there a way to delete without putting text in the register?
