Either choose another prefix such as phpbb3_ or go into the database and delete it. Not all hosts do this the same way, but look in your site's controls for MySQL databases or phpmyadmin.

phpBB3 styles contain a style.cfg file and 3 folders called imageset, template and theme.

You don't usually get any xml files or portal files in styles.
Where did you download them from and what is the link to your site?

Try running all of them except the one for the posts table.

No. That just shows you the results.

* Or run ...

Did you actually run the SQL queries that it outputs?
