If you follow the book, read carefully, and watch your environment variables, the book works just fine. Don't try to make extra steps. If you really clobber things (nothing is working right), you may have to start over. That would mean with just the sources.

If possible, it'd be better to make a difference between the source files (configure, *.c, etc) and the source packages (usually compressed tar archives). You have to remove all the source files (including the directory where they reside), and also anything in the /mnt/lfs tree, except the /tools and /sources directories, and the source packages (and patches).
Something like (as user lfs):
-----
rm -rf $LFS/tools/*
find $LFS/sources -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec rm -rf {} +
-----
should be enough.
