Right.  It actually means, "Delete and allow re-record", but there
wasn't enough space for all that.

You can cancel the schedule before or after.

You can also "hack" MythTV to provide a Delete link (i.e. look at the
URI for Delete for one of your other shows and make one that looks the
same--same parameters and same path, but with the new show's ID).  I
used to do this to "Never Record" shows for which I didn't have a
schedule (before I wrote the patch that allows you to Never Record any
show).  Of course, the 2-step approach (Delete + Rerecord and cancelling
the schedule) is much safer, so be careful if you choose the hack approach.
