What's an example of such an incorrect topic? Topics are editable, so 
you may not need to delete them. If the incorrect part of the topic is 
its type information, you can simply remove the type association from 
the topic. BTW, you can delete a type created in your personal base from 
within the schema editor.

As Iain has pointed out, sandbox is the best place for experimentation. 
If you run into questions or problems during schema design, feel free to 
post a question or request for collaboration. Almost every page in 
Freebase includes a link to start a discussion thread. I also recommend 
checking to see if any other user is working or has worked on similar 
types or schema with similar design patterns. The Freebase community is 
here to help.
