We currently run a core hack to remove the per-feed aggregator blocks from the interface. We need that back because that page takes so long to save it falls over. :\

Tried and failed to use hook_block_info_alter() for this: #1550050: Removing blocks from hook_block_info_alter() leads to data loss

But in dinking around in Aggregator module, I noticed that it now has a new setting for "Number of items to show in block." If we loop through all the blocks and set this to 0 in an update hook, no more blocks! :)

The query is:

'UPDATE aggregator_feed SET block = 0'

Too tired to wrap this in an update hook tonight.

Thanks for sharing solution Webchick.

Your update query is very helpful.
I had to remove aggregator block as well as I have so many block feeds
