Re-importing deleted contacts

I am just getting started with Mailchimp and I imported a mailing list of about 300 subscribers to get the feel for the system and try a test. Then I wanted to scrub my list of obsolete entries before using Mailchimp ‘for real’. I did that, reducing my list to about 225 subscribers.

I thought I could just delete all the existing subscribers in my list and then re-import my reduced list and go from there. Apparently I didn’t understand what you meant by “permanently” — I didn’t think that mean I couldn’t re-import them.

So, now after re-importing my scrubbed list I have an audience of exactly 0 members. I see I can delete the audience and start over but I have to wait 7 days, which sucks big time since I need to launch my campaign tomorrow in advance of a weekend event.

Is there any way for me to get around this error and start fresh? I can’t believe I’m the only one to fall into this trap.

Thanks for any help. Really discouraged now.
