Delete Web Site Redirects Mass Update
If you have the Mass Updates permission, you can use the Mass Updates feature to delete multiple redirect records simultaneously. When you define this type of mass update, you enter criteria for the redirects that should be deleted. A list of records that meet these criteria is returned, and then you have the choice of performing the delete immediately or saving the mass update definition for future use. If you have the Schedule Mass Updates permission, you also can schedule a mass update to run on a recurring basis.
