Can't seem to delete channels

Hi all -

While doing a bit of reconfiguration (deleted/re-entered capture cards)
one of my three channel lists (all subsets of one SD account) wound up
getting a bunch of channels added to it that it can't tune.

I tried to go in and delete them using the MythWeb interface, but ....
nothing doing. I click on them in the "delete" column, click on "save" -
but they don't go away.

I'm afraid to use the editor in mythtv-setup, because the last time I did
this, I would up blowing away ALL of the channels in a video source (will
it let me delete then one at a time, or a group (but not all))?

I looked through the wiki, and also on gossamer-threads, but found
surprisingly little on this. So I'm thinking that the
Mythweb-refuses-to-delete issue is unique to my setup? ;-) Also, can
someone tell me how to delete one, or a small group of channels from a
source, using the mythtv-setup channel editor?

Please forgive me if I'm missing something totally obvious.

I'm running 0.21 (latest stable Mandriva RPMs).
Thanks.

I can't help with the mythweb question. But using mythtv-setup ->channel
editor, just highlight the entry you want to remove and press the 'D' key. It
will prompt you before actually removing that entry.

Doh!!

I think the last time I hit the "delete channels" button on the first
screen and it deleted all of them...once bitten, twice shy. Yes, that
works...wish it would stay on the channel list so I don't have to hit
down-arrow to get back to the list, then "page down" several times to
delete the next one (I have like 50 to delete) - but I'll take it ---
thanks!

I'm still wondering why MythWeb won't let me delete them? Worked in 0.20.
