Importing phpBB 2.19 to vB 3.5.4 (Prefer 3.5.4 because add-ons are more supported). The vB board is a totally clean board.

I tried a few times trying to import but came across some major errors (Like not being able to view threads imported even though they're there). So I decided to restart. On the 2nd import all the users that previously imported are still there, so I originally had 1000 users, I now have 2000 (basically imported twice). I thought impex deletes previous imports when you re-run a module. Anyways, I want to restart fresh again, how do I totally remove a previous import?

If you're restarting all the way fresh then I'd simply delete the database and install vBulletin 3.5.5. It has an important security fix and should support the largest part of the plugins available for 3.5.4.

Then, run all the import modules and make sure to follow these 'After an Import' instructions: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/impex_cleanup
