As a workaround, you can stop slapd and delete the database files (data.mdb, lock.mdb) in
your configured path for where they are stored for that specific
database.
No need to stop slapd - just change the directory path in cn=config to point
to a new location. Then delete the old files.
Then add your new set of objects.
