Use a question mark on the redirect target to clear the query string.

The redirect also needs a preceding RewriteCond testing THE_REQUEST so that the redirect only fires for direct client requests, not as the result of a prior internal rewrite.

Theres several hundred prior examples of this code in this forum. It's a question that has been asked every week since the forum began.
