How can I Import Exported Chrome bookmarks and REPLACE existing bookmarks?
I had two different devices somehow not sync'ing chrome bookmarks for a whilie.
And then when I sync'd I ended up with lots of duplicates.
I did do a Bookmark Manager > Export before syncing. However, when I Import those it just makes yet another copy of those bookmarks (now I have even more duplicates).
Is there a way to erase the existing bookmarks and then import the exported chrome bookmarks?

Export bookmarks from the other device where you use Chrome to an HTML file.
Uninstall Google Chrome and reinstall Google Chrome on the device where you will import bookmarks from the HTML file that you saved. Alternatively uncheck Bookmarks in Chrome's Settings -> Advanced sync settings and delete all of the Google Chrome bookmarks on the device where you will import bookmarks from the HTML file that you saved.
Import bookmarks to the newly installed Chrome from the HTML file that you saved. From Chrome select Customize Chrome icon (three horizontal black bars icon in the top right corner of Chrome) -> Bookmarks -> Import bookmarks and settings… -> from the dropdown menu under Import bookmarks and settings select Bookmarks HTML File -> under Select items to import: review the checkboxes and uncheck the checkboxes next to the items that you don't want to import -> click Choose File button. Browse to the HTML file that you saved and select it.
The Chrome bookmarks have to be in the same order on both devices in order to sync properly. From Chrome select Customize Chrome icon (three horizontal black bars icon in the top right corner of Chrome) -> Bookmarks -> Bookmark Manager. From the open Bookmark Manager tab in Chrome rearrange the bookmark folders by dragging them until they are in the same order on both devices.

You don't have to uninstall chrome. Just go into the Bookmarks manager, select the first bookmark, and use shift when selecting the the last bookmark to highlight them all, then hit delete on your keyboard. Import the new file.

Export bookmarks from the other device where you use Chrome to an HTML file.
Uninstall Google Chrome and reinstall Google Chrome on the device where you will import bookmarks from the HTML file that you saved. Alternatively uncheck Bookmarks in Chrome's Settings -> Advanced sync settings and delete all of the Google Chrome bookmarks on the device where you will import bookmarks from the HTML file that you saved.
Import bookmarks to the newly installed Chrome from the HTML file that you saved. From Chrome select Customize Chrome icon (three horizontal black bars icon in the top right corner of Chrome) -> Bookmarks -> Import bookmarks and settings… -> from the dropdown menu under Import bookmarks and settings select Bookmarks HTML File -> under Select items to import: review the checkboxes and uncheck the checkboxes next to the items that you don't want to import -> click Choose File button.
