how do I delete my iCloud bookmarks and upload a new bookmark file

While managing my bookmarks, I deleted a bookmarks folder in my bookmarks bar. Just then the infamous beachball started and a dialog popped up saying my bookmarks were syncing with iCloud. Then Safari crashed. After opening it, all my bookmarks bar bookmarks were gone. Thankfully, I had a backup of the bookmarks, however, I don't want to merge with the bookmarks on iCloud, fearing they're screwed up. How do I delete or overwrite my iCloud bookmarks and upload my new corrected version?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1), iDVD on Applications Install DVD

Did you ever figure out how to clean up your bookmarks versus your wife's bookmarks? I'm sure this has to do with the Calendar problem across accounts, too.

Jerome,

Sorry it's taken so long to get back but I've had time to get back into it and I am going to try your suggestions now.

I want to take back that my statement about the posters as I have no reason at all to believe they are the same person. My apologies.

No worries.

I only wanted to contribute to this treat with my own solution since I've had this problem for almost 2 years now.
