If your "clear the history" means to remove temporary files... There are
directories designated for temporary stuff (/var/tmp and /tmp) and there
is a program called "tmpwatch" which runs by means of:

/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch

...which rruns daily and cleans old files in these directories.  You, as
a regular user, don't usually need to take care of this.

However, if you want to manually clean files in these temp directories,
I suggest you switch to runlevel 3 (system mode without graphical
environment).  That would be (as root):

init 3
rm -rf /var/tmp/*
rm -rf /tmp/*

As always, be careful when using the "rm" command.

HTH,
Jorge
