Another way to clear history is to delete .bash_history file. rm -f ~/.bash_history
However, actions on .bash_history will not clear the history of commands used in the bash session running at that time. That history is stored in RAM and written to .bash_history when the session ends. The correct way to clear history is to use 'history -c' because this will clear all history, including commands used in the session from which the command 'history -c' is given.

I've read what Ed and Michael said, whatever, here is another way to clear your bash history: [linux]$ > .bash_history
