Cencellare the history of commands from the terminal history is a simple operation. Default, the last 500 commands type in termilane are stored in the hidden file “.bash_history“. The previously typed commands can be read quickly by using the arrow keys (“freccia its” and “down arrow“). This makes it easy to invoke a command recently typed, but it could be a security issue if that session was used by more people. So how does one delete the command history?

To read the complete list of the command history from terminal “for the logged in user” just type the command from terminal “history“.

To delete history just type “history -c“.

This will delete the only user logged in History, you will have to repeat for every other user you want to remove the history of the shell.
