# Delete list

 * I imported a large list, 1600 links, but I need to remove them and import a new
   list. Is there a way to remove the entire list instead of clicking delete on 
   them one at a time? I tried importing the fixed list to overwrite it but that
   didn’t work on all, I just want to start all over. I tried to deactivate and 
   delete plugin but the list remains there after install of new. Where is that 
   file stored?

 * Hi there,
 * You could use this line:
    `update_option('301_redirects', '');`
 * Place it at the bottom of your functions.php file, refresh the page, then comment
   out or remove the line from the file.
 * Alternatively, you can use the function in my addon plugin to this plugin: [Simple 301 Redirects Addon – Bulk Uploader](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-301-redirects-addon-bulk-uploader/)
   which I have just added this ability to version 1.0.8. As a backup, you can use
   the plugin to export a copy of your links to a CSV “just in case” then use it
   to upload your new list via CSV instead of doing it all one by one.
 * Hope that helps (and i’m not too late) 😉

 * Thanks. I ended up deleting them all one by one and used the bulk uploader to
   create the updated ones.
