Deleting the last displayed line (or part of it) in the command window.

I'm trying to use the same line in the command window of Matlab to print the progress of my code.
I have read several solutions and currently I'm using the following command:
disp([repmat(char(8), 1, num_of_Char_to_del)])
This works fine on my Matlab (9.1.0.441655 (R2016b)) when running on Windows 7.
For example when I have the following code
disp('Hello World')
pause
disp([repmat(char(8), 1, 6)])
in an m file with the name 'test.m', and I run the file, first I get
>> test
Hello World
then pressing any key I get
>> test
Hello
>>
Which is what I want.
However, trying the same exact thing on a Matlab (8.5.0.197613 (R2015a) ) running on Linux server, first I get
>> test
Hello World
and if I press any key I get
>> test
Hello World
>>
which is not what I expect.
Can anyone explain what is the issue?

My first guess would be EOL encoding (\r\n vs. \n). Did you try using fprintf instead of disp (which implicitly adds an EOL). So, e.g.
fprintf('Hello World\n');
pause
fprintf(repmat('\b', 1, 6)); %Deletes 'world' and '\n
Greetings, David

Try it without the line break:
fprintf('Hello World');
pause
fprintf(repmat('\b', 1, 6));
How did you open Matlab on the server? Through a text terminal or with the GUI?

If you're trying this from within the command line
msg=fprintf("Anything I want to write\n");
pause
fprintf(repmat('\b', 1, (msg+39))); % covers the length of the message + length of the backspace command.
Otherwise, the answers above should work.
