I wonder this might be your case?

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/entry_dist.html#22293
Deleting a Database
The following procedure describes deleting a directory database using 
the Directory Server Console. Deleting a database deletes the 
configuration information and entries for that database only, *not the 
physical database itself.*

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/dbmanage.html#1117312
Importing a Database from the Console
When you perform an import operation from the Directory Server Console, 
an ldapmodify operation is executed to *append data*, as well as to 
modify and delete entries.

To overwrite the existing data, please take this step before importing 
the data.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/dbmanage.html#1117339
Initializing a Database from the Console

Or you could do the same thing from the command-line interface:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/dbmanage.html#1117378
Importing from the Command-Line
You can use three methods for importing data through the command-line:
. Using ldif2db - This import method overwrites the contents of your 
database and requires the server to be stopped.
. Using ldif2db.pl - This import method overwrites the contents of your 
database while the server is still running.

Hope it helps,
