I'd like to clear recent inputs in terminal not cls or clear but when you press up or down. How do I clear this list so that when I rename sudo to nodood or something you cannot press up to view the new sudo perhaps my script will read input. I cannot ask multiple questions on this crappy site I must wait 90 minutes so I will just not use it anymore.
command-line bash

For complaints about the system use the meta site. For askubuntu that would be meta.askubuntu.com And it is of course an anti-spam measure. Please ONE question per topic. I answered the history part. The other one needs a separate question.

Deleting history
If you want only to delete a single command (eg erroneous typed your password) type
history -d <line number>In case you want to delete the entire history enter
history -cHistory files can be found in your home directory. For bash this will be
.bash_historyand the temp files.bash_history-xxxxxx.tmp. Hence deliting them would also work.
