I want to completely clear my R command history in RStudio. I'm talking about when I press the up and down arrow keys, not just clearing the console by clicking the broom.
I tried deleting the .Rhistory file in my working directory and restarting RStudio but the file keeps restoring itself. How do I completely get rid of it?

rm(list = ls())To clear history of commands typed use:
clearhistory <- function() { write("", file=".blank") loadhistory(".blank") unlink(".blank")
}
