I am currently taking care of a 6 cylinder ford fairlane 2000 model during the lockdown.I don’t have the opportunity to drive it much so on a number of occasions I had to recharge the battery to start it.My question is, does the analogue clock use a lot of power over a period of about 10 days or so? Will it useful to remove the fuse for the analogue clock?

with all that will draw power whilst the vehicle is in shut down mode id say the clock is the least you need to worry about
and if your going to go to the extreme of pulling the fuse you might as well just disconnect the battery from the vehicle to stop any draw down

How old is the battery? A new battery could solve it or get a battery tender, like
