and have just been decompressing the tarball as you've guessed. You don't
even have to remove any directories or anything form it as the tarball only
has sample configs and everything unique to your installation in 'data' is
created with different names than the included files and folders. In short,
just untar ontop of your owncloud and you should be good to go (at least
that's worked for me ;p).

To verify this, you can view the contents of the data and config folders
and you'll see that what they replace has nothing to do with your personal
settings.

it.
