 * Hey karil10
 * You have to remove slugs from database.
 * Those ‘old’ slugs are kept in the postmeta table.
 * You can use phpMyadmin you could delete them ALL with
 * DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘_wp_old_slug’;
 * Or you can delete them individually in that table.
 * Note : Make sure you take backup of your database.
