Hello Community,

how can I clear the History from Terminal ?

rm ~/.ash_history

You can create a script:

[c]#!/bin/sh

rm ~/.ash_history
touch ~/.ash_history

exit[/c]
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
