In PhpMyAdmin you can truncate a table by listing all tables and clicking the "Empty" button beside the table you wish to truncate.
Be aware that this deletes EVERYTHING in the table.
Well they finally all got back into the database. So right now I am hitting the green buttons and make sure its red for other countries.
