Claire,
If you have access to DBA privileges, my choice before importing (either Classic or DataPump) is to simply "DROP USER <target user> CASCADE;", then re-create the user.
One can certainly run a script to DROP all objects in the schema, as well, but I prefer the "quick-and-clean" method.![[smile]](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif "[smile] [smile]")
Let us know if you have follow-on questions.

ClaireHCM,
You may wish to look at the Table Exists Action (TEA). The default is to replace if the object exists.

Claire,
I recommend your checking into/Googling TekDudeDude's suggestion for specifying Table Exists Action.
I that does not seem to meet your needs, you can use whatever administrative tool you have to DROP the objects that the schema owns prior to your import/data pump.
