Thank you Michael for responding ,

so if I want to cmuImport all the sites how do I delete them without 
entirely erasing the system and installing from scratch.

It has always been the case that with CMU you should only import sites and
users that don't already exist on the system.

When CMU tries to import a site or user that already exists on the target
system, then you sure get the dialogue to merge, drop or modify. That allows
some limited form of conflict resolution. But generally you'd be better off 
to
delete the conflicting site or user first and then use CMU to import the one
from the CMU dump.

Or, I believe  can delete sites from the command line using
/usr/sbin/cdelvsite --fqdn www.somesite.com

Possibly using a perl script like

#!/usr/bin/perl
#remove  all the sites on list

print "try to open listofsites.txt\n";
open (FIL,"listofsites.txt") or die "Can't Open\n";
  while (<FIL>) {
  $thedomain =  $_;
  chomp $thedomain;
  print "delete the site $thedomain\n";
  #system("/usr/sbin/cdelvsite -d $thedomain");
  system("/usr/sbin/cdelvsite --fqdn $thedomain");

}

close (FIL);
