After converting from MXF to OMF, how to get back edits?

I just started a project, imported all my clips, made in and out points on the parts I will be using and then laid out rough sequences. Half way through fine tuning my first sequence, I realized I chose the wrong format of MXF.
So I went to the Media Creation setting and changed Video File Format from MXF to OMF. Then I went to Transcode and had the setting Target Video Resolution: DV 25 411 OMF
I did the Transcode on my clips and sequences. When it was done, I noticed the new OMF clips did not have my INs and OUTs, but my transcoded sequence had all my edits.
Now, I am confused... is my transcoded sequence still using the MXF files? How do I go about getting everything to use the OMF files I created, and still have my edits I did on the MXF one? Then to clean up, do I just go in the Media Tool and delete all the MXF files? What about titles and effects?
Also, thinking back to the Transcode dialog window... I only had 'Convert Video' checked, should I have checked the 'Convert Audio Format' too?

To check if your new sequence is indeed using MXF media, open a new bin set to text view and drop the seq into it. Set the bin to show reference clips, and turn on the heading for media file format or media type. This should show either OMF or MXF and you'll have your answer.
I suppose then you could delete the omf media and clear up some space.
