Aaah yes sorry, could have found this myself. Thanks for pointing me at
it, nevertheless.

Okay so the "rude" approach of manually wiping things using SQL is the
way to go here? If so, I guess I could live with that. Thought there's
an "official" way through the scarab web ui, nevertheless. But so I'll
take a dive to the DB structure and learn to help myself then. :)

Well overally so I guess I'm down to make up my mind defining issue
types, modules and attributes before creating them in the DB and then
work with database backups to be safe in case I did something stupid.
Thanks a bunch for your patience outlining this. :)

Cheers & best regards,
