Commands follows

  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

I can delete single one by history -d 511, but how to delete last 10 commands and in between 10 commands history using single command in shell?

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

Commands follows

  511  clear
