How do I "clear" an array?

I need to do the following. Suppose I have an array, c[ ]. I need to be able to specialize the elements of this array, and then later "clear" the elements, making them indeterminates again. I attempted to do this by creating a temporary holding array

i:='i': for i from 1 to 5 do d[i]:=c[i] end do;
i:='i': for i from 1 to 5 do c[i]:=i end do;
i:='i': for i from 1 to 5 do c[i]:=d[i] end do;
 

I expected and want the output to be

c[0] c[1] c[2] c[3] c[4] c[5] 1 2 3 4 5 c[0] c[1] c[2] c[3] c[4] c[5]

Instead, my output is

c[0] c[1] c[2] c[3] c[4] c[5] 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5

in other words, the c[ ] remain specialized. Any suggestions how to do this?
