I have a list of 15 computers in my seti account, but many are no longer working, or were even loan computers!

If I delete these "inactive hosts" will I lose the credit they have earned?

No, the credit will always stay with the participant. You can delete computers without problems. Their credit is already added to your account.

I have deleted hosts, several times without an issue. If you want to clean up your account, go ahead. There must be no results left on the machine, before it's allowed to be deleted.

I, too, have deleted hosts many times and never had an issue. All credits accumulated always stay with the host account and are independant of actual systems running under your account.
