Each time I edit my bookmarks on one computer they get changed or duplicated by another. How can I clear my sync file and start over?

I have 2 desktop computers, one running Windows 7, the other Ubuntu Linux. I also have a laptop running Linux Mint and a netbook for travelling dual-booting Ubuntu Linux and Windows 7. I use Firefox sync so I have my bookmarks available on all of them. The problem I'm experiencing is that sometimes I make a change to a bookmark, folder or sub-folder, like deleting, renaming or moving to another folder. Later, when I go back to either that computer or another, the bookmark or folder is back. How can I control syncing so I can force an upload of my bookmarks, then replace the bookmarks on the other computers? I was able to do that with XMarks but switched to Firefox sync a few months ago and prefer it since it doesn't ask me to log in frequently.

If you have all of the data the way you want it on one computer, then create a new account in Firefox sync and add the account to the profile without Xmarks.
