If you want to get rid of the views permanently, then you can also use this PowerShell fuction which deletes a view from the list.

function Delete-ListView()
{
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$url,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][System.Net.NetworkCredential]$credentials,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$listName,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$viewName
    )

    begin{
        try
        {
            #get Client Object
            $context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($url)
            $context.Credentials = $credentials

            #Retrieve List
            $list = $context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($listName)
            $context.Load($list)
            $context.ExecuteQuery()
        }
        catch
        {
            Write-Host "Error while getting context. Error -->> "  + $_.Exception.Message -ForegroundColor Red
        }
    }
    process{
        try
        {
            $view = $list.Views.GetByTitle($viewName)
            $context.Load($view)
            $context.ExecuteQuery()

            $view.DeleteObject()
            $context.ExecuteQuery()

            Write-Host "View deleted successfully" -ForegroundColor Green
        }
        catch
        {
            Write-Host ("Error while deleting view for a List. Error -->> " + $_.Exception.Message) -ForegroundColor Red
        }
    }
    end{
        $context.Dispose()
    }


}

Usage:

# Get Credentials
#
$Creds = Get-Credential

# Function Call
#
Delete-ListView "http://YourSite.com" $Creds "Discussion Board" "Answered question"
