How to remove Primary vault on iPhone

I want to sync my iMac primary vault, via Dropbox, to my iPhone 5.
I go through all the steps and all is well until the sync process informs me that the Primary vault on the phone is different than the one on Dropbox. (I knew that, hence the need to sync.)
Then it asks if I would like to MERGE the two vaults! Last time I did that, I ended up with 471 duplicate entries on the iPhone and the iMac.
Is there a way to replace the old vault with the new one?
If not, why not and what is the solution?

Thanks

  • Hi @mrmacfixit.

    Is the Primary vault the ONLY vault on the iPhone? If so, and if there is nothing you want to save in it (you are okay with deleting everything in it) then you can simply uninstall & reinstall the 1Password for iOS app and set up syncing via Dropbox from the welcome screen (scroll down to see the option).

    I hope that helps. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
