There are two ways:

1. Set num_history_items_recorded=0 in the ini file if you want to keep your 
current settings.

2. Define MC_PROFILE_ROOT environment variable for temporary mc environment 
(see man mc for details).
If this variable is set, mc creates a new profile with default settings at 
start. After mc close,
you can just delete this directory.
