Not sure what you mean by "clear" credit; when you delete a host, the records for that host are deleted, including the record of whatever credit it earned. The credit _remains_ on your account and team records, however.

No. Cleanup is done by the numerous BOINC server processes. At least all
results for all WUs assigned to the specific host must be reported back.
You will have to wait.
