(See the best response by Ter13.)
Code:
mob/verb/Inventory()
    src.client.screen = null   //Clear the inventory before generating everything inside.
    for(var/Column = 1 to 13) for(var/Row = 1 to 5) 
        var/Grid/G = new
        G.screen_loc = "Inv:[Row],[Column]"
        src.client.screen += G
    for(var/obj/item/I in src.contents) src.AddItems(I) //Generate the items on slots.
    src.InvVisible = 1

mob/proc/AddItems(obj/item/I)
    for(var/Grid/G in src.client.screen)
        if(G.used) continue
        I.screen_loc = G.screen_loc ; src.client.screen+=I
        if(I.amount >= 1)
            if(I.stackable == 1)
                I.maptext = "<div align=right><font color=white><b>x[I.amount]</div>"
        G.used =1 ; return


Problem description:

How would I go about clearing only the inventory grids instead of the entire screen? Seems like a winset fix, but I can't figure it.

I just want to be able to reset the inventory window without it also removing things from the screen like items in equipment slots

Just want to point something out:

You shouldn't be using one object per grid for an inventory background. Use a single object like this:

var/obj/o = new()
o.screen_loc = "1,1 to [rows],[cols]"


It will repeat the background for the on-screen grid for each tile in the list.
