Clearing history of commands executed

Hi,

I have cleared the commands by using >$HOME/.sh_history.
But if i issue HISTORY it shows some reference numbers but not the commands executed.
But i want to truncate those line numbers too.
May i know how i can achieve this?

Thanks

Logout and then login again, that should do the trick.
