Use a doubly linked list, then you can start from the current pointer and go back and forth and delete the nodes.

In a circular singly linked list also it is possible to use the current pointer and delete all nodes. The pseudo code would be like this:
while (curr != null)
{
linkList *ptr = curr->next;
free(curr);
curr = ptr;
}
