I accidentally PUT an array of IP addresses to a transient cluster setting allocation.exclude.\_ip. This should have been a single value instead. How can I delete these invalid settings?

transient: {  
cluster: {  
routing: {  
allocation: {  
exclude: {  
\_ip: "10.20.1.103",  
\_ip.19: "10.20.1.89",  
\_ip.10: "10.20.1.98",  
\_ip.32: "10.20.1.53",  
...  
}
