With the \resetsetups command you can remove a previously created setups environment. As you can see from the following example “mysetups” doesn’t exist anymore after the \resetsetups command.

\startsetups[mysetups]
  Dummy text.
\stopsetups

\starttext

\doifsetupselse{mysetups}{YES}{NO}

\resetsetups[mysetups]

\doifsetupselse{mysetups}{YES}{NO}

\stoptext
