How do I delete network routes on Android? Via an adb shell as root, I ran cat /proc/net/route to look at the routing table and then route del wlan0 to delete all wlan0 routes, but I get the error: "Invalid argument".

Sure you get this. You invoked route del <interface>, which is not valid. Please check the syntax e.g. at the man page. – Izzy Sep 27 '12 at 11:45
Question: why do you want to do this? It seems like an odd thing to want to do on a portable device. Also, if networks come and go (moving in and out of coverage), it will probably re-add the route on you. – Michael Kohne Sep 27 '12 at 14:45
