Remove specific history from SSH command line history

Question

I have accidentally type something in my SSH which now shows my password (obviously I want to remove this)

When I enter the following command I see all my history as follows:

$ history

History list:

997  sudo svn up
998  sudo svn up
999  sudo svn
1000 mypasswordhere
1001 history

I simply need to remove the entry from my history that is 1000 mypasswordhere (with mypasswordhere being the password I actually use for some sites so need to remove this)

Can anyone suggest how to remove this single entry (rather than remove everything if possible)

Answer 1

This should be done by executing this command:

$ history -d 1000

according to documentation accessible when you write man history
