I'd 

    - export /mysite.se/ via database administration
    - unzip the export file
    - replace /mysite.se/ with / in all files beneath
      the unzipped folder /sites/
    - replace in manifest.xml in the node <destination />
      /mysite.se/ with /
    - zip the export again
    - import the file via database administration

Or use the synchronisation feature, which should be even simpler.
