Not 100% clear how data is being rolled forward.
You can return everything to default settings using 'firstboot'. This would
return router to default settings as if it was freshly installed with
openwrt.

You can run upgrade using sysupgrade and indicate that you don't want to
carry over configuration, I believe the -n flag
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/sysupgrade

You could use MTD to overwrite the entire partition such as in 'mtd'
section here:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade


I don't think either of the last two would carry over old files or
configurations.

Hope this helps
