Thanks for the reminder, Robert, about `history clear` as I had forgotten
it existed despite being a core developer who fixed many problems with the
`history` command in the past couple of years.

history clear 

sounds to me like it would do the trick based on this:

If you want to selectively delete some items there is the `history delete`
command. Note that fish imports your bash history file if it is empty. So
if you really want an empty history you need to rename or delete your
~/.bash_history file before doing the next step. Exit all your fish shells.
Start /bin/sh or some other non-bash shell then remove your fish history:
rm ~/.local/share/fish/fish_history
