clear conscience
No nagging remorse
A clear conscience is freedom from guilt or self-reproach—the settled feeling that you've done nothing wrong.
Someone with a clear conscience sleeps easily, unburdened by regret: I can say with a clear conscience that I tried my best.
The phrase often appears when defending one's actions or deciding whether to act: Can you do that and still have a clear conscience?
