Redirect subdirectories using RedirectMatch and removing query string

I am trying to redirect a subfolder to an upper level subfolder and remove the query string

Source URL: mysite.com/blog/folder/?start=20

Destination URL: mysite.com/blog/

When I use

RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/folder/(.*)$ http://mysite.com/blog/?

It goes to mysite.com/blog/?

When I use

RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/folder/(.*)$ http://mysite.com/blog/

It goes to mysite.com/blog/?start=20

Is there a way to completely strip the query string including the question mark?

try adding the following to your .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog/folder/ [NC]
#the ?at the end will remove the querystring
RewriteRule .  http://mysite.com/blog/?  [L,R=301]
