Description

Dupe Check
Describe the bug

unable to clear history, removing .zsh_history does not remove history in warp. unsure where warp is caching history (guessing "the cloud" somewhere??) but there needs to ne a way to clear it permanently. do not like my input history being stored on an amazon web server or wherever you've decided to rent it out to for the cheapest bidder.

To reproduce

press up -- see history!!
type rm -rf .zsh_history
press enter
press up -- oops not deleted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Expected behavior

expect to have history deleted
