Removing all journals but one

Greetings,

We have a multijournals instance running on ojs 3.3.0-18. One of our journals is moving to another university, and legitimately wants to take its account along.

I know there is a rather recent third party module that allows to export a journal, but it still has some limitations so I tried to take the long road – i.e. creating an entire copy of the instance and delete all the journals but the one I want to export.

At first it appeared to work. However, I soon realized that neither the directory structure of those journals, nor the users, nor the numerous database references are deleted.

The directories and users can be easily delt with, but the database remains full of old references, some of which could be sensible (email logs, etc.)

There seems to be no script in ./tools to clean the database. Is the aforementioned module the only way to make a clean export?
