Clearing a channel does also not work via API. When I try to do so by
curl -i -X DELETE 'https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/130945/feeds?api_key=YESIUSEDMYUSERKEY'
I get

Thanks for reporting. We are working on possible resolutions. In the meantime, if you are able to create new channels, and use them for new data. I know that does not solve every situation, but that is what is possible right now.
This is how I resolved my problem for 4 channels. But unfortunately you then cannot delete the "old channel", not via the website and not via a curl request. Would be nice if you could fix that problem.
Tnx!

Hi Hans
Obviously, doing this is a time consuming hassle when you have several fields.
Also stuff in the backend server(s) needs code changing as well beause the channel URL changes when you start using a new one.
Do you think you are talking:
-- Hours
-- Days
-- Weeks
?
Thanks

This issue is resolved. Please try the clear channel/delete channel workflow and let us know if you are seeing issues.Thanks,

Thank you so much - it works now.
Interestingly, I have Firefox on two machines (Windows and Linux). Both have Firefox version 47. The windows one does work and clears the data.
The Linux one gives you the popup "Are you sure you want to clear this channel?" but when you click it nothing happens....
Thanks again
