Clear BuddyPress button will delete all data, that was generated by this plugin: messages, groups, notifications, friends, forum posts, xprofile. Plugin won’t reimport data if clicked twice.
And turn off email notifications in profile (friendship accepted and messages received) – or you will spam yourself ???? Imported users have these settings already turned off.
