How to clear command history in Octave

Question

What command can I use to clear the history that appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Octave IDE?

I would like to know why you haven't found this yourself. If you type help history you'll see "'-c' Clear the history list." Also if you google for "gnu octave clear history" the first hit would show you how — Andy, Commented Dec 3, 2016 at 17:59

Based on the documentation for history, you can use the -c flag to clear the current history

history -c

The below command will be handy.

   clc; history -c

clc is irrelevant here. Rest is already posted by Suever. Please read the already posted answers before posting yours.
