Thanks Dieter.

I wasn't too sure how to go about doing this as I'm running Plone on Windows
so I don't think zopectl works (which I believe is what would normally be
used in this situation on linux). So for anyone else with the same problem
in the future, I downloaded PloneShell -
http://plone.org/products/ploneshell - and then used Dieter's suggestions
above and then committed the changes with:

    get_transaction().commit()

Cheers
