Just remove all files from directory /usr/local/var/openldap-data/ 
except file DB_CONFIG.

BTW: You should also check ownership and permissions of the files. If 
slapd is normally started as another user (check the start/stop script 
normally used) you should not start it as root and let it create the DB 
files as root.
