 * I accidently imported demo content twice for a theme I bought, and now there 
   is two of everything….two abouts, two features, two homes. How do I get rid of
   it all?
    *also, when I go into pages in the admin, there is only one of everything.
   its weird

 * Probably quickest to just wipe everything in the DB and start again/reimport 
   just the once…

 * Erase all of the tables in db? Will that not mess with the site as a whole?

 * First, do a database backup
 * If this is a _new_ site with no other content, then _emptying_ all the tables(
   do not delete the tables) would be easiest and then you would start WP again 
   and you would go thru the installation script again.
 * If it already has some of your data, then it is messier. you might be able to
   get into the SQL you imported and change things into ‘delete’ instead of the ‘
   insert’ but you would have to create a where clause to target each row all which
   will take a bit of time.
 * so it will probably be easiest to just go into the backend and delete the pages
   and posts etc…AFTER you do the database backup.
