Paul B XenForo moderator Staff member Aug 20, 2011 #4 Nope. What you should have done is set up your installation after first creating it, before importing anything. Then take a backup and keep that as your master clean copy. You can then import, wipe/reload and repeat as many times as you like until you do your final import. If you reimport on top of what you have now, you will end up with duplicate content. Upvote 0 Downvote
