General Questions/New to Joomla! 5.x • Re: Deleting numerous redirect url's fast

Can you not delete them from Joomla's Redirect component?

Redirects used to be under Components. Now it is found from System - Manage - Redirects.

You can delete the redirects page by page, up to the maximum number of list items per page, selected from the dropdown. If the selection is 'All', all of the redirects are deleted. However, if we are talking about tens of thousands of redirect links, this might stretch the performance of the database server.

Does this query make sens to the experts or will my server go up in smoke?

The query makes perfect sense. The numbers in brackets refer to the status of the redirect item:

• 0 unpublished

• 1 published

• 2 archived

• -2 trashed

Therefore the query you asked about does not delete published links. However, if would like to delete all the rows from the _redirect_links table, it would be more efficient to use the statement Truncate Table, which requires DROP privileges. As @gws mentioned earlier, phpMyAdmin has the option Empty table, which would be quicker to use than running a SQL statement.
