   You can create a script:

   #!/bin/sh
   
   rm ~/.ash_history
   touch ~/.ash_history
   
   exit

   Save as: clear-history

   Give permission: chmod +x clear-history

   And put it in: ~/.local/bin

   To run the script: clear-history

   Hello,

   If I delete the file .ash_history (in /home/username/), the history as 'user' is cleared, that's OK.

   But when I go root (su in terminal), I continue to see another history (history as root). Where/how can I delete history as root?

   Thank you

   As root repeat same command
   > ~/.ash_history
   or
   > /root/.ash_history

   OK, thank you.

   To resume, to clear the history as user + root, I deleted 2 files :

   /home/username/.ash_history
   /root/.ash_history
