clearing or make new array?

Hi i have these objects that are beiing recycled all the time.
when these objects are ‘dead’ they go into a recycle pool and some array’s have to be cleared.



    public void deleteactor() 
    {
        for (int l = 0; l < (listoftags.length); l++) 
        {           
            listoftags[l]="";           
        }
    }


or



    public void recycleobject()
{
}
    public void deleteactor() 
    {
        for (int l = 0; l < (listoftags.length); l++) 
        {           
            listoftags[l]="";           
        }
    }
