    I personally would recommend doing a 301 redirect to the new correct URL. This will continue to include any links that you have built up to the old URLs and pass on the value.

    Wherever possible - always do a redirect (301) rather than just delete URLs. At the very least you will continue to get natural traffic if people have linked using the old URL.
