How to delete all executed commands in SSH?

Answered 3 years ago (May 14, 2021) by Eldernode Staff

To clear the history of executed commands in SSH, run:

> /root/.bash_history

Or

\cp /dev/null /root/.bash_history

Please note that previous commands can be displayed until you exit! Also, the commands you executed during your last login will not be deleted.
If you wish to disable it completely, type:

rm -rf /root/.bash_history

ln -s /dev/null /root/.bash_history
