E350 2011 Radio Presets Erase

I just purchased a 2011 E350 and want to ease the previous owners radio stations. I can add my new ones over the old ones, but can't find a way to erase them.
I did see an option to reset the command center, but really don't want to do that. I would have to re enter all the changes I made.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Tune the radio to your preferred station, then press & hold the button (from 0 to 9) a few second, you will hear a "beep". voila, the new station is program on that button (you can also "reset" for navigation system by hit the "system" on the navigation, go thru the menu, hit the "reset" button, it will reset everything (wiped out all the preset stations. clear all the address in the navigation system, also the time zone you are at), then you have to reset everything time zone, you home address in the navigation, then the radio stations....so on).

I did figure out the add new station and replace over one of the saved. I'm looking for a way to erase all the unwanted stations with out doing a full reset of the command system.

When a Mercedes dealership acquires a pre-owned vehicle it wants to resell -- certified pre-owned or not -- they use the procedure SoCal208 describes to clear the footprint of the previous owner. The dealer does not have a partial reset procedure that we know of, and neither would you.

Actually, I would prefer the full reset myself. It takes next to no time to build the presets to your needs.
