The import map editor allows you to delete bad mappings between strings in 
your import data and accounts in gnucash. So if you made a mistake while 
mapping you can correct it here. "Correct" in the sense that you can make 
gnucash forget the bad mapping. It will only learn new mappings during 
imports.

As for the maps being empty:
- do you have bayesian mapping enabled ?
- do you actually do matching while importing ? That is in the import 
assistant at some point you get a list of transactions colored green, yellow 
or red. Double clicking on the yellow and red transactions allows you to 
complete them. This is crucial to build mapping data.
