" mysqlimport --delete database_name file.sql  " that refers to a separate utility program that is not part of phpMyAdmin.  I have attached a pic of the main screen for a database in phpMYAdmin.  If you click on 'Drop', it will remove the table entirely.  If you click on Empty, it will remove the data but keep the table definition.

Ooops, I was wrong: I said Rob instead of Dave... Sorry, Dave.
@prenreg, I think you should split points between me and Dave: half of the answer is in his comment.
