First Sync Questions

Classification: Query
I imported my tree to FTM3 Mac in January and named it with the date. I've deliberately *not* synced because I'm afraid it will screw things up. But I've noticed my tree, by the same name, is at Ancestry.com already. I never uploaded it that I can recall, because as I said I wanted to wait until I wasn't afraid of the sync feature issues. Well I guess I must have and just knew it was uploading only not syncing. I also have hints showing in FTM3, but the sync symbol *is* x'd out. I thought I'd only have hints in FTM3 if syncing?

Well today I decided to sync and first backed up my file and also made exports ... just securing in every way I could. But I'm not sure whether to sync the two trees as they are, or whether to delete the one at Ancestry and start over with a new upload. Any important changes I believe are in my FTM3 version. Should I just sync to the one already online?

This all sounds rather obvious. Delete the tree online and start over, but I am just skittish about this syncing feature. I don't really trust it.
