Of course, database removal should be the last resort.

The reason it is advertised is that sometimes migration fails and then it is 
hard to recover from that manually. The easiest recovery mode - that should 
work for everyone - is to start with a new database. The real recovery would 
be to investigate what is wrong and only correct/remove the problematic 
parts, but as this can be highly user configuration dependent, there is no 
generic solution.

I had my Akonadi database up and running for a long time, and the last time 
I removed it was not because it was corrupted, but to see how the software 
works with a clean database.
