If you haven't consulted with the Import Guidelines [1] on the wiki, it would be a good place to start.
As far as deleting imported building - ideally you would determine which building had the better geometry and only import a new building if the geometry is better. And always merge the two objects to keep the history intact. JOSM has a Replace Geometry tool that works well to merge the new with the old. If the original object has different tags it prompts for the selection of the correct value.
