Shutting down the interface will work. However, clearing the route table tells the route process to start over. If it starts over, it has no idea that the route ever existed. Shut down the interface and wait for the timers to expire.
For example: R1-----R2-----R3 Shut down the interface at R1. Go to R3 and watch the route table. After the dead time expires you should see the route listed as possibly down.
