Hi,  
Finally, I ended not having to delete my topics, I was able to do what I wanted to (not necessarily deleting them ; this could have been a solution but not the only one), see [Migrate a phpBB3 forum to Discourse - #367 by Canapin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-from-phpbb3/30810/367), [Migrate a phpBB3 forum to Discourse - #377 by Canapin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-from-phpbb3/30810/377) and [Migrate a phpBB3 forum to Discourse - #379 by Canapin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-from-phpbb3/30810/379)
