Old cast iron seasoning is the best, you don't want to start over. Be warned, don't do this unless you already know what to do and how to season your newly bare cast iron. You do this by putting your cast iron in the oven and running it through a cleaning cycle. If you aren't happy with it, you can always strip it and start over but that's usually something you end up wishing you hadn't done. If it doesn't come off then leave it alone, and season as normal another new layer. If it's coming off then get all of it off that you can by chipping it away. See if it really is coming off, try with you fingernail. You want seasoning to build up, but it shouldn't flake. However it really only matters on the cooking surface. If it's flaking, it wasn't seasoned right to begin with.
