I don't like closing and reopening the terminal. A little history --help reading and tinkering got me realizing that some history -w and history -r action was needed as well. See the steps in my new answer here.

@FizerKhan I mean that changes made in .bash_history can be overwritten by what is kept in memory. I found this solution helpful: superuser.com/a/384383/253543

@ErikLandvall Understood. You mean: Even If I close the terminal, there is no guarantee that history will be write to .bash_history file?

If you do this with vim you may find your deletion history in ~/.viminfo so be sure to remove that too!
