Hi and welcome to LQ. You'll find loads of answers to your question here. It's always a good idea to do a web search for these kinds of questions. I used the keywords linux history last 10 to find this one.

Here's one possible solution to your problem:http://goo.gl/FeV3
and here's how you can delete the last 10 of your bash_history (do make backups)

The others have answered your question, so I will not repeat. I have a tip though.

You can make history ignore commands you typed by preceding a space before the command.

Edit /etc/profile and add an ignorespace to the HISTCONTROL line. For example

HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:erasedups:ignorespace
