I just started the game, and I ended up having to get a new graphics card to be able to play the game etc etc....

My question that I am asking is: Can you delete a character and remake it?

The reason why I ask is I done the entire little starting area and left the city with really bad lag....(Gameplay and cut scenes lagged terrible and missed most of the cutscenes) and I want to be able (now that I can play lag free) to delete my character.. recreate it with the same name etc, so I can redo the starting area and see all those cut scenes (and the fight) that I completely lagged through and couldnt see.

I have tried to look up to see if I am able to do this and I read stuff like "Its bad to delete a character and recreate on in its old slot" (without an explanation on why its bad). I just want to be able to enjoy the game (From the begining) without messing up my account by deleting the toon.
