Best way to clean it out is to use Delete all video sources, as at 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 .  
Re-installing MythTV won't do anything useful, unless in the 
uninstall/reinstall the package manager deletes your database and 
creates a new one.  Much easier is Delete all video sources, which is 
equivalent to starting with a fresh database when it comes to video 
sources, channels, and input connections.  (And Delete all capture cards 
would be equivalent to a fresh database when it comes to capture cards 
and input connections.)
