Hi,
you can use iptables -D or -X or -F. -D to delete a single rule, -X do
detele a chain and -F to flush all rules from a chain.
Refer to man 8 iptables for details and examples.

Try to use
iptables -D INPUT 1
this will delete rule 1 in input chain

The "-L" option will list all rules, use belows to flush it and use "man
iptables" to see more.
iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
iptables -F -t mangle

iptables -X
iptables -X nat
iptables -X mangle

Hello,

There is a option --line-numbers, which can be used with -L in iptables.
Knowing the line/rule numbers ... u can later delete the specific rule.

Commands :

      #iptables -nL --line-numbers ---> this will show you the rulenumbers

      #iptables -D <chain-name> <rule-number>

Bye,
Narendra.

"iptables --help" gives you a short command overview.

"man iptables" gives you more extensive help.
