Clear command history

How can I clear or reset the Cisco command line history?

Adam
You can clear the command history buffer with an exec command. The history buffer size defaults to 10 but you can control the size. If you want to change the size permanently you use a command in line configuration mode: history size and if you want to change it only for your session you use this command in exec mode: term history size .
So if you want to clear or reset the history buffer I would do this:
term history size 0 (which empties the buffer)
term history size 10 (or whatever value it had been set to).
I tested it and it worked very well for me.

  • Clearing command history from terminal

    Is there a way to clear all the history of remembered commands in Terminal? I am referring to the "Run Command" box after "New Command" is selected showing the most recent command highlighted and a collection of recent commands in a "scroll down" underneath this. They wont delete permanently. Same ones reappear each time box is closed and "new command" is selected.
    Is it any problem if I am unable to clear them? I believe it is normal for the computer to remember these recent commands. Thanks

    Thanks for reply. First, I am referring to the history of remembered commands as shown in the drop down that appears after "new command" is selected and includes the last command entered, which is highlighted. Is this what you understood I was referring to?
    Second, by "bash" do you mean the window that appears when terminal is opened? The window I am seeing is titled "terminal-tcsh-80X24" Lower down it says "welcome to Darwin" plus some other text. In an article "Mac OS X: How to change the Terminal shell" it is written that tcsh as default is meant for pre 10.4 systems and bash as default for 10.4 (which I am running). Does this mean I have the wrong default shell?
    Third, I never use Terminal. I don't understand Unix and only got into this by accident (too long a story). I just want to make sure I haven't disturbed anything that will upset the computer. Since all of this is unfamiliar I would be grateful for an answer that includes more detail and explanation. Thanks for your patience.

  • Can I Clear all history from command line?

    Is there a way to simulate clearing all history
    Tools -> Clear Recent History -> Everything
    from the command line in Windows 7?
    I'm writing test automation and this would come in handy when running my tests

  • Clearing recent history on Firefox freezes browser.

    This is actually a problem and what I did to fix it....
    Firefox 25 and Mac OS 10.7 (Lion)
    Went to "Clear Recent History" and Firefox stopped responding.
    • I had to use COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to quit Firefox
    I then went to Firefox preferences-->Privacy-->History
    • I changed "Remember History" to "Use custom setting for history"
    • I checked the box that said, "Clear history when Firefox closes"
    THIS IS WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED
    • Clicking Firefox from my Startup Menu would cause the pointer to spin endlessly
    • Again, I had to use COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to quit Firefox
    At this point I was worried that I could lose all of my Bookmarks with a clean install,
    so I went to the internet and found out I could start Firefox in a "Safe Mode"
    Here is what I did to correct the problem....
    1) Hold down option and click Firefox from the Startup Menu (Firefox starts in Safe Mode)
    2) I then went to Firefox preferences-->Privacy-->History
    3) I unchecked the box that said, "Clear history when Firefox closes"
    4) I changed "Use custom setting for history" to "Remember History"
    5) I closed the Firefox preferences and Quit Firefox
    When I restarted the computer all of my Bookmarks had returned :-)

    That was very good work. Well Done.
    These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
    These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
    FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
    Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
    In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
    your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
    It will also make backup of files that you choose.

    Hi Eric and Markus,
    We found the Solution and off course we did good R & D, Finally I am able to implement the fix to Clear the Command Line History.
    All I did is I Disabled the Permissions for Code Folder (Right Click > Permissions > Deny) in Regedit.
    Thats It, The Commands stopped storing in the History.
    Thank you Erick and Markus.

  • Clear Charms History

    I know that you can clear the Charm History by going:
    Change PC Settings, Search and Apps, Clear Search history.
    Is there anyway this can be done via command line? I would like to script it in a batch file.

    Hi,
    Based on my test, this feature "Clear" would delete the type history in
    Run and Bing APP search results. These history stored at Registry, such as
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU
    While there are many other items, such as Bing APP histroy, store at other key. It is complicated.
    To know more details, you can use RegShot to capture registry changing after run
    Clear.

  • How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone?

    How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone? I accidentally clicked clear cookies and data as well, so everything is basically gone and there are very important stuff that I NEED to recover. I tried to do the settings>safari>adavanced>website data, but nothing worked, because since I cleared cookies as well, everything's just gone.

    You restore the phone using a backup made before you cleared it. If you don't have a backup from when it was present, then it's gone.

  • I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I have changed the DNS number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 2 days and still can't find a fix, HELP!!

    I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I haves changed the DNs number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 3 days now, HELP!!!!

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • I can't clear my history anymore. Just started doing this two days ago. Even setting auto history clearing didn't help. Will I have to remove/reinstall?

    I can no longer clear my history. I have done this every day for years, and since two days ago The clear history box wont open when I try to clear my history. I tried setting the auto clear option, but that also did not work.
    Is there anything else I can try within firefox or my computer, or will I need to remove firefox and then reinstall it?
    Thank you

  • Am I the only one who has firefox crashing when trying to use "Clear Recent History"?

    Well I installed Firefox 4 on both my laptop and my desktop and it does the same problem to both of them, which annoys me greatly.
    Such a simple feature should have no problems working right? Well not for me apparently.
    When I try to use Clear Recent History (ctrl + shift + del) from the firefox menu, it asks me what I want to clear, then I press clear and nothing happens. It freezes and crashes. If I would have this problem for only 1 computer I wouldn't have minded much but the fact that this feature is having so much troubles running is getting a bit annoying for me. I just want to quickly clear my cache of everything. Shouldn't be hard!
    What annoys me the most is that by browsing trough the web, I didn't find anybody else with this problem!
    I don't mind much because after retrying it eventually works... but an awesome browser such as firefox should work from the start, not after many tries.

    You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.

  • How can I permanently avoid that usernames get saved once I sign in? - Where are these "do not save username" settings? I do not want to clear my history every time...

    Each time I clear the history and use a username only once it gets saved. I do not allow the passwords to be saved but I could not find a way to eliminate the usernames to be deleted. That is a real security issue for me

    Hey Jacky,
    I have found a Knowledgebase

    using.  The only thing that should change is the version
    number.  Have a good one!

  • I can't clear recent history. It worked on 6.0 but on 6.0.2 I can't do this. Also my bookmarks are lost. How can I fix it? Old bookmark archives don't work. Error: Can't read data.

    The day I updated my Firefox to version 6.0.2, I had some problems. The first time I want to clear recent history as "everything" Firefox cleared my all bookmarks and history page (Ctrl + H or Ctrl + Shift + H) but visited websites are still on address bar. They are on Firefox Menu > History section. Bookmarks are not important, how can we fix Clear Recent History function?
    Troubleshooting Information is in Turkish, if it is not useful I can send that text in English. Please send an e-mail for this.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • "clear recent history" is not lit up, can't activate; I have an extra blank line under all these editing icons which I do not want?????Yahoo says it is your issue; also when I copy for instance a screenshot (see below)

    1)trying to clear cache: when I click tools,options, "clear recent history" is not lit, I do not know what else to say. I tried to copy the screenshot sample, but it wouldn't let me.<br />
    2) On a page: the items appear in this order -<br />
    a)Header line:Firefox symbol Ask question or whatever I am seeking<br />
    b)2nd line: the words: File, Edit, View, etc. <br />
    c) 3rd line:arrows then 7 icons for editing which appeared one day, a small window that tells where I am with a star and then a window with
    google's symbol and a small window with a magnifying glass.<br />
    d)4th line: a wide empty line<br />
    e)5th line: a small window telling what I am doing ie Ask a Question etc. then a plus sign in a gray box and then nothing follows. <br />
    Yahoo says that the blank line and the icons are Firefox's issue. <br />
    I never chose to have icons for editing instead of the words. I do not know how they got there. I had some problems for a number of weeks (1/4/11 to 2/5/11 because all of the 2nd line had disappeared and I had no bookmarks. Yahoo was completely ineffective and I got disparate yesterday and started click all over the screen and suddenly the words of that line appeared again as well as all my bookmarks were back.?????odd. So all this maybe related. I just would rather not have that blank line as it lowers my screen.
    3) cont'd: to my desktop I cannot retrieve from my desktop. I click to open it and the page opens, but it keeps opening and opening and on and on and won't stop, so I have to close the tab and sign in again. This has happened about ten times recently. I guess that is it.

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
