I think that Johannes suggests that you roll back to an old backup file, from 
before you did the import.

Look in the folder where your data file is, and you should see some auto 
backup files like:
<yourfilename>.yymmddhhmmss.xac  - choose the timestamp which is before you 
made your mistake and open that in GC, and then do your import again.

of course, if you are using on of the 2.3.x test releases and a SQL database 
of some type, then this will not be the case, as backups are only made for 
the XML file backend...

HTH,
