Shaping,

The recommended procedure for getting a fresh start with flaps (i.e. destroying all the old ones, and getting pristine new ones) is simply to evaluate:

     Utilities reinstateDefaultFlaps

If you press the "about flaps" button in the "Squeak" flap, you'll get a window entitled "Flaps in Morphic", which contains documentation about flaps.  You'll find a paragraph about reinstating flaps there, which inclues the above recommendation.
