How to delete history of last 10 commands in shell?

Question

Commands follow:

  511  clear

  512  history

  513  history -d 505

  514  history

  515  history -d 507 510 513

  516  history

  517  history -d 509

  518  history

  519  history -d 511

  520  history

Can I delete a single one by the history -d 511, but how do I delete the last 10 commands and in between 10 commands history by using a single command in my shell script?

Can we write the bash script and execute it for deletion of history?

Have you tried editing your history file directly:

~/.bash_history
