I think by using access to edit things causes a lot of problems when it comes to using the rebuild database as anything that was edited in that is wiped out as soon as you rebuild.
Your question, would it be easier to start over is a hard one to answer as it could take a lot of work.

Just try this first: From the menu Import Songs button select Build Database, from the list of folders in the bottom left window highlight the folder containing your zip files and press the rescan folder button. If they are in several folders do them one at a time then see if they still show as unknown artist.
I don't hold much hope of it solving your problem but worth a try.
Maybe Dale or someone else will think of an answer before you try starting from scratch.
Just deleting the kmh files can cause problems because hoster still thinks they are there, that is why you should use the edit multiple dialog to delete files, then it registers in Hoster, if you just delete files using explorer this can make them keep showing up as already imported when you try re-importing.
