Just drop the existing users & schemas in dev with the
DROP USER . . . CASCADE command - here is a query
that will generate the script to drop all users for you other than the
exceptions in the IN list:
select 'drop user ' || username || ' cascade;'
from
dba_users where username not
in
('SYS','SYSTEM','OUTLN','DBSNMP','DIP','TSMSYS');
Also, you'll probably want to add direct=y to your exp
command - it will most likely make it MUCH faster.
