You can also delete a series of lines like so:

$ history -d 541-549

You can also use this command to remove the history:

$ cd /home/username
$ rm .zsh_history

I opened the .bash_history file. Found the line I wanted to delete. '

$ history -d "#### "

Went back to .bash_history. The line was still there... Went and edited in vim Worked
