[mythtv-users] How to clean up confused metadata?

Hi all,

I just implemented LVM and in the process, relocated my tv recordings 
directory.  I had a few experimental recordings lying around that I 
didn't care to preserve.  So they're gone from disk, but they remain in 
the database and show up as saved recordings.  Trying to delete them 
through the MythTV interface produces the following error on the backend:

ERROR when trying to delete file: 
/video/1036_20060103220000_20060103223000.nuv. File doesn't exist. 
Database metadata will not be removed

So is there any safe & simple way to get rid of this metadata so these 
phantom shows don't show up in the list of recorded shows?

Thanks in advance.
john
