what logs are you trying to clear? if you ssh into the device and you are trying to remove your tracks, you can either shred the lastlog and auth.log in /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/lastlog
or you can just modify both files to change your ip in those files... don't forget to clear the history and also kern.log files
use the Shred command, deleted files can be recovered, but with shred can wipe it permanently, check the options on your terminal with the shred -h command, you might want to use shred -zuvxf filename, this would rename the file and also add a final overwrite of 0's to hide shredding
