C# WEBApi MVC Help pages

I have a custom route below and action.

    [System.Web.Mvc.Route("Sites/{id:string}/Cache")]
    public ResponseMessage<Result> DeleteCache ([FromUri] string id)
    {

and when I got the the help page it gives three examples to use this call:

DELETE Sites/{id}/Cache
DELETE Sites/{id}
DELETE api/Sites/DeleteCache?id={id}

I'd like to keep the first one and remove the others. Is there a built in way to do this?

Here is my WebApiConfig.cs snippit....

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "DeleteCache",
    routeTemplate: "{controller}/{id}/Cache",
    defaults: new { controller = "Sites", action = "DeleteCache" }
);

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "DefaultApi",
    routeTemplate: "{controller}/{id}",
    defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);

HelpPage will list every valid route for each controller. If you want a route to not apply to a specific controller you have to add contraints to the route to make it not match anymore :

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "DefaultApi",
    routeTemplate: "{controller}/{id}",
    defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional },
    constraints: new {controller = "((?!Sites).)*" }
);

This uses a negative lookahead regex to match every Controllers not named Sites
