No idea about why but yes you can clean things up manually. Besides the row in the capturecard table there should be a matching row in the inputgroup table based on caputurecard’s cardid equalling inputgroups’s cardinputid.

Essentially you’re manually executing queries from the code that deletes capture cards which is in:

    https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/cardutil.cpp <https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/cardutil.cpp>

specifically, the methods CardUtil::DeleteCard and CardUtil::DeleteInput (lines 2084 and 1296).

Alternatively you could use sql to change the capturecard’s hostname to match your machine and it should show up in myth-setup where you can delete it the usual way.
