Take a look at your .history file in your home dir.

cheers

any commands you've run previously are logged in ~/.bash_history on bash. just delete that file to clear them, or set the shell variable HISTSIZE (i think) to be a lower number, or even 0

Yeah, sorry, I'm in traditional sh mode today for some reason.
