How can I delete commands after they have been run on matlab?

I have mistakenly posted commands and I want them to be deleted and not sit in my code. Please help.

Can you elaborate your question?

Is this a question about Live Editor? If so then you can go back, highlight the link, right click, select Cut. When you have removed everything you want removed, click on Run

To remove commands you have run from your command history, click on the command window prompt and hit the up arrow. Then scroll up to the command you no longer want to show up and right click on it. Select "delete" and it will no longer appear in your command history.

Alternatively you can remove it from the History.xml file manually with a text editor. If you have Windows, edit the file "C:\Users\yourName\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2017b\History.xml" with something like Notepad, and delete the lines you don't want in your history.

Type "clc" to the command window.

This will get rid of everything in the command window that is displayed, not just the "mistakenly posted commands". Nor will it remove any items from the history.

The best solution is to just type the commands wanted into an m-file rather than the command window. Then you can edit what's there all you want.
