1572 notified me that my blocked caller list is full. How do I clear the list completely and start again.

I don't know of any direct way of doing this from your phone, other than taking numbers off one at a time which might be tedious.
But I remember reading a suggestion that switching off Call Protect from your account, leaving it a bit, and then switching it back on, gives a clean sheet. You would lose all settings not just the blocked-list.

Thank you Brightonrock for the feedback. Guess I shall just have to plough my way through deleting some numbers off the list to free up space as not prepared to lose all my settings.
Many thanks again👍

Now that Plusnet's 1572 Call Protect service for my phone line has reached capacity, it is has become difficult to manage - the prime problem being the deletion of diverted/blocked numbers, one at a time.
It also removes the most recent diverted/blocked numbers first, when I would have thought that the oldest should be removed first (the oldest being more likely to be discarded by scammers ?).
Having reached capacity, it now looks like a materially flawed service.

If the 1572 diverted callers list is full:
Dial 1572 #4 Personal Options
- #2 Make own list
- #4 Hear short list of 'least effective' list entries (usually an older number ?)
- Delete first number offered (#1)
Dial 1572 #1 Delete last incoming caller number

Thank you Dave
I have followed your very informative suggestion and deleted quite a few numbers off my list. Its just a shame that there isn't a "clear all" facility in order to start a new recent list. I seem to be bombarded with unsolicited phone calls and as a result hardly answer my home phone now but use mobile instead.
