Open a terminal and run:

dconf reset /org/gnome/shell/command-history

or

gsettings reset org.gnome.shell command-history

For gnome2:

gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/history-gnome-run []

I'm still using RHEL 6, so I modify the below file

~/.gconf/apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/%gconf.xml

How do I found it? for all XML files under home, grep the string you normally use under alt-f2
