If you don't want to save the cache to disk, use the command

export HISTFILESIZE=0

within the terminal. If you want to clear the cache of the current session 
immediately, use this command:

export HISTSIZE=0

If you want to make those settings permanent, include the commands in the 
file "$HOME/.bashrc".
