How to clean an above ground pool after 2 seasons of non use

Will it do any harm to drain it down and super bleach it? Maybe 20 gallons or more? I figured that by draining it quite a bit, a more concentrated bleach level will be getting to the algae because it won't be so diluted. I don't want to eat holes in the liner, though! I'm keeping the chlorine in the bright yellow/orange, and we have 3 tablets in the basket at a time. This is our first "real" pool that didn't come from Walmart and all this is rather new to us. I need to hear from an expert what they would do? Preferable someone who is not independently wealthy☺

If you drain it almost all down, you really shouldn't have to 'super-bleach' it. Just get in and out with ladders, so you don't flop the walls over, drain what you can, and then brush and bleach till it's dead. Once it's dead, begin refilling -- but chlorinate as you go.

Got my work cut out for me tomorrow! Thanks for the help. We'll see what happens.
