Why? That's normally quite a useful tool.

See the man page for your shell (i.e. 'man bash') and look for
the section on HISTORY. I'm guessing you want to unset HISTFILE,
and then delete the .bash_history file in your home directory.
That's _probably_ not a good idea, but it's your environment.

If you just want to hid the command where you did something illegal
or stupid, read that section above and learn about editing the
history.
