How to clear console command history?
So, if you don't already know, when you open the console and press the arrow up key, you'll get the last command you entered. Keep pressing the up key and you'll get all the commands you've ever typed (ever, not just in the current game session). Even if you enter an invalid or mistyped command, it will be memorized.
It seems like it's not limited to specific number of entries, the more commands I type in, the more get saved.
There has to be a way to delete (or hopefully even disable) this history, but I found no command that does such a thing. Perhaps it has to be deleted manually somewhere in the game files, I don't know.

Anybody got any insights into this?

goto C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base
there is a file called consoleHistory.txt
