Thanks for the help! This operation works without problem.. ;)

But when deleting all packages from this parent channel I get a 
"Internal Server Error" and a "WEB TRACEBACK":-/ The channel is deleted 
but packages are still at /var/satellite.

In the WebUI I get this warning:

=================================================================
Channel CentOS 4 Updates x86 has been deleted.
The packages selected below were unique to CentOS 4 Updates x86, and 
have now been orphaned. The packages which are not selected were already 
orphaned.
=================================================================

*Is there anyway to delete those orphaned packages?* thanks!
