Just delete and recreate. There have been several discussions on this list
about the data quality of the landuse data and if it should've been
imported in the first place (no data vs. bad data). Working with gigantic
multipolygons is indeed a pain and I don't think there is any value to
preserving the import data.

Just my two cents,
 Harald.
