More information

To remove data from specific fields, use ~DEL as the value of that field in the import file (.CSV file). When the Import is performed, the data in the fields with ~DEL as the value will be removed.

For example, say the Office field for each user needed to be cleared out. The following import file shows how this can be done. 
Obj-Class,  Directory Name,  Office
Mailbox,  Admin,  ~DEL
Mailbox,  User1,  ~DEL
Mailbox,  User2,  ~DEL
