Exactly. Delete the lot. Thats the best way. Because none of those are 
relevant any more if you're going to a different copy of Data.fs
BTW an obvious comment, but make sure your zope process (or multiple

Maybe I'm pedantic but I'd be a little worried about the integrity of 
your site....

I think you ought to try again with an empty var directory and see if 
the ATContentTypes error goes away 'cos it shouldn't have happened and 
is a bit worrying.

Good luck :-) ,
