This is my first time dealing with these, so if something is confusing because it sounds like I'm talking about something else, it's likely not me forgetting actions taken but rather me swapping/misunderstanding terms.
A couple of weeks ago, I started my migration from Plex. When I started adding my libraries, I wanted to make sure my HD HomeRun Flex was recognized. I was able to add it in the dashboard, but didn't see any channels, which led me to looking into the xml or m3u files in case I needed to get one to get my channels & EPG data to properly show. I then fell down a rabbit hole of IPTV channels and ended up adding an m3u (?) with what unknowingly had, something like, 500 channels. I deleted the IPTV xml file (?), but they still appeared.
Since I didn't know what I was doing and was more focused on getting my main libraries setup, I moved on thinking some sort of scan might remove those IPTV channels over time.
They're still there and now they don't show in the dropdown in the dashboard, where I initially deleted them. I also tried just removing my tuner completely, but that did nothing, as well. However, my Live TV section in the dashboard now looks like new. (I've also pressed 'Refresh Guide Data' quite a few times.)
I found some references online to .xml files I can manually delete in the config/config & cache folders, but I didn't have any of the files referenced when I searched.
Is there a way to manually delete these IPTV channels still showing in my guide?
