Since you're talking about an EAxis neighborhood, if you want it again you can retrieve it from the Program Files folder.
The directory to copy is Program Files\The Sims 2 Apartment Life\TSData\res\UserData\Neighborhoods\E001. Copy that to your Neighborhoods folder.
Won't it regenerate anyway, even if I do nothing, the next time I load the game? I quite like some of the families, but not enough to put up with all of them, and I realise it's all-or-none.
Also, given my original post, I suppose my ineptitude and general nitwittedness is already obvious, so I may as well ask. I think I have the clean templates process semi-sorted, but I would be very grateful if someone would be willing to walk me through the BV deletion/install step-by-step. After 27 pages in the Empty and Cleaned-up Templates thread alone, and dozens more in other, related ones, I am more confused now than when I started. The other EPs seem much more straightforward.

No, it won't. Once you do something to a hood in TS2, it's permanent unless you delete the modified hood and replace it with a clean copy of the original.

Who cares? The OP was deleting all the sims anyway, and clearly wanted a clean 'hood. A custom hood should be fine. Build your own. It's better. Why suffer the EAxis limitations?

I mainly wanted a clean vacation hood. I screwed up. However, I now have a lovely clean main hood as well and no angst, other than trying to sort out which one of several different and contradictory methods for generating vacation townies outlined on this site is the most viable.
maxon:
The EAxis neighbourhood folders will regenerate if you remove ALL the neighbourhoods folders from the neighbourhoods folder:
My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighbourhoods
But it will only do this if that folder is empty on start up. An easy way to do it is just take the other neighbourhoods folders out temporarily. You can put back any custom hoods once you're done.
