Unique Channel Store name

I went to submit a public Roku Channel that I had originally setup as a private channel (for testing) but I got the following error:
Roku requires that names for channels within the Channel Store are unique. The name you have selected for your channel is not available. Please select a different name.


When I looked around I found out that private channels and public channels can't have the same name so I renamed the private channel and uploaded a new version with a different name but I'm still getting the error when I try to submit the public Roku Channel with the original name. I changed the private channels name a day or two ago, how long will it take before I can submit the app?

You may need to delete the private channel. Renaming might not be sufficient.

Thats what I'm afraid of, we already have a some users testing the private channel and don't want to kick them off if it is at all possible.
