What to do when import data interrupted?

[myrainbowandsky]

Ubuntu22.04

nominatim import --osm-file ../../osm/us-latest.osm.pbf
2023-11-12 17:55:52: Using project directory: /mnt/data/Nominatim/project
2023-11-12 17:55:54: Creating database
createdb: error: database creation failed: ERROR:  database "nominatim" already exists
2023-11-12 17:55:54: FATAL: Creating new database failed.

I tried:

nominatim import --continue indexing
2023-11-12 17:58:23: Using project directory: /mnt/data/Nominatim/project
2023-11-12 17:58:25: Setting up tokenizer
2023-11-12 17:58:25: Tokenizer was not set up properly. Database property missing.
2023-11-12 17:58:25: FATAL: Cannot initialize tokenizer.

How to continue to import data?
If I cannot , how to drop nominatim database and import again?
