If done properly, deleting the video source will delete the channels.
Use "Delete all video sources" to clean them up.

Ideally, you'd use the channel editor in mythtv-setup or mythfrontend to
do this, and if you wanted a quicker way, you could just disable EIT on
each of your capture cards, or with a single checkbox, disable it on the
video source.
Since you actually wanted EIT data, though, this step didn't do
anything--except delay retrieval of that data. Likely you just needed
to wait a bit longer before the actual EIT data got in (versus just the
now/next).

Running mythfilldatabase is only ever required if you actually use XMLTV
or Schedules Direct for any of your listings sources. And, re-running
it is only required if you ever change your lineup/channels/video source
in such a way that you have new channels that need listings data.

The steps that were most likely required/to have fixed the issue were
"Delete all video sources" followed by re-creating the video source and
re-scanning the channels.
