Clear Terminal History

[James, Jason]

Something like the following should clear both memory and what's causing it to come back for you.

cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history && history -c && exit

Hi All

I have Googled this and not found an answer "that works"

I would like to delete / clear my terminal history, I've tried 

history -c
history -w
history -cw
history -c-w
history -wc
history -w-c

after closing the terminal session on re-start all cmd-lines remain
