it's like bash_history.. command history (used with up/back key mostly)
You want to get rid of it for good: ln -sf /dev/null .mysql_history

We're just getting started with MySQL on Linux; I was browsing my home
directory and found a file called .mysql_history. It contains a history of
all mysql commands I've entered - including logging on, setting passwords
for users, etc.
Sure enough, other users of mysql have the same file.
Questions: What are these files, are they mandatory, or can I turn off
this logging? Do we need to keep an eye on growth of this files, and
truncate or archive them?
Most importantly - yikes, seems scary to have a clear text file with a
record of Mysql username and password create commands. Any thoughts on this??
