 * Is it ok to use All In One Migration plugin overwrite an existing site?
 * Or if it necessary to completely reset it as a new install?

 * Hi
 * Yes, All In One WP Migration will overwrite existing site on import. You can 
   also reset the site before import, but that is optional.

 * I just did this – imported to a complete website, and it seems kept the previous
   themes and plugins installed (all plugins deactivated).
 * So it doesn’t appear to have been a 100% overwrite. There is an extra step of
   deleting previous (inactive) plugins and themes.
 * Are there any other steps, for cleaning up the old site?
 * Thanks

 * I believe [@wordpressrun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordpressrun/) 
   that what you are asking for is a feature that is being worked on as noted here:
