| May 15, 2023 at 16:17 | comment | added | JGC | @phuclv - No, because as you delete history the positions change, so to delete 1006 to 1008, you delete 1006 3 times. | |
| Jan 15, 2022 at 13:36 | comment | added | dgmz | @georgeHilliard no that is not the same. the first returns one occurence, the second a list, which is not what we want | |

Short but sweet: for i in {1..10}; do history -d $(($HISTCMD-11)); done

-bash: tac: command not found on Mac OSX, otherwise this would be the best answer.

Updated to use simpler commands.

history | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}' can be simplified to history 1 | awk '{print $1}'
