I actually got it to work, somehow...just used the batbox, followed by Theo's deleter tool. It was Strangetown and Belladonna Cove that had the issues, for whatever reason.
ForeverCamp:
Again, I hate to necromance, but I am stumped. ???
I followed the instructions to the T to delete some (okay, A LOT) of townies et al. in my 2-year-old Pleasantview. I got through the deletion process all right with the first batch (with roughly 850 files to delete, I wasn't doing them all at once), but when I tried to go back in-game to prep a second batch, it hangs up on the loading screen to the neighbourhood (both going into the main or a subhood), and I have to use Task Manager to shut it down.
I don't understand why this is happening. I don't THINK it's devolving into a BFBVFS, because the neighbourhood was running just fine prior to this. I still have backups of the neighbourhood files, so I can reinstall and redo if I need to. Does anybody have an idea of what's wrong?
ETA: Bash me all you want. This is what I get for not reading three or four pages past the step-by-step instructions. I went into the UNK and not the SCID.
ETA2: Never mind. It still hangs up on the loading screen even when the SCID is used.
ETA3: Hangs up even when I don't bother with index reset.

I don't know what you did exactly, so I can't say what went wrong. I've never come across those problems, and I Deleted 2 a lot.
Have you really deleted the character files from the My Documents folder after killing the respective Sim Description? That's something easily overlooked.
Whatever you have done with the UNK, have you *undone* it?
And how many files have you deleted in your first batch?
It's possible, that your loading screen doesn't hang up actually, but that it just takes a long time (and I mean a long time) to load the neighborhood. So, how long have you waited until killing it via the task manager? Have you tried loading it, do some other stuff, come back later (say, after 15-30 minutes) and check?
Oh - and have you by any chance tried to delete character files which should not be touched, like the Reaper or PolliTech?
I would recommend to take a backup and start all over again, maybe with smaller batches (although I have deleted ~250 files in one go without problems before), at least at first. You *do* have a backup, right?

Sloppyhousewife:
1. I deleted the associated character files from the My Documents after killing the SDSC, definitely.
2. I started from scratch about three or four times - you bet your sweet ass I have a backup of the neighbourhood. Pleasantview is my baby, I always have a backup. So I did undo the last step for Sim Creation Index reset.
3. The first go around, I deleted roughly 250 files. I waited about 15-20 minutes before killing it.
4. I did not touch any character files that were in the "Default" submenu: dead sims, PolliTech, Reaper et al, as well as any sims who had fathered playables. All I killed were service NPCs, strays, townies, downtownies, dormies, locals and a crapload of professors (really? 100 professors for a single university subhood?!).
5. See #2.
