You have the option whether or not you want to destroy all facilities or not when you abandon.

Not scrapping the facilities allow you to retain your colony, but with no population. I don't really see the point of doing that: you cannot use the colony, but it is still a liability (can be captured/glassed for the happiness hit), and it isn't a new colony.

Because you can "drop cargo" to fill it up with people again on the very next turn.

Yup, it can be used to forcefully remove a riot, as no population cancels the rioting (and other states, like plagues). It doesn't make much sense, but it works in game.

I would stick with my suggestion, its the best method for dealing with this kind of problem.

this does not work anymore. it was patched out several versions ago: you can no longer add or remove population from a plague infested world - theyre under quarantine.

Actually, what I meant was "let the bloody settlers die out, and replace them": why bother removing them when they are already dying out?

Hey, I just tried the "move all populace except 1 onto transports, abandon planet while leaving facilities intact, then repopulating" trick and it worked like a charm to stop the emotionless yet rioting populations... now I just need to do this on about twenty more rioting worlds... lol...
