Re: Removing Redirects???

If a web site moves a file the proper way to do this is to use a redirect. That way search engines and browsers know the content is moved (if someone had it bookmarked).

The redirects might not be a bad thing. Can you show us the site? It doesn't sound like it would really be much of an issue, other than being confusing. If you want the new page to work on it's own you need to change the URL of the pages that link to it.

For example, if your home page links to about.html, but the new page is about_us.html, you'll have to change the link on the home page. You could leave the about.html page there still, with the meta redirect, in case anyone had the page bookmarked.
