Remove an IPTable Rule

Question

I'm having troubles removing this ipables rule in Ubuntu:

$ iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

I've tried using the -D attribute but with no success. How can I remove this? I've tried flushing the tables but that didn't seem to work.

Any suggestions?

It should just be:

sudo iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

Or try to find line numbers (iptables -L --line-numbers), and use:

sudo iptables -D [number]

The second should definitely work.

Or try a third thing:

sudo iptables -F
sudo iptables -X
sudo iptables -t nat -F
sudo iptables -t nat -X

... you should be lucky with one of these.
