You should have deleted these using calibre not your file manager. Individual files can be removed inside the Available formats section of the Edit metadata window (see attached) or from multiple books using the remove format under the bulk edit metadata window (see attached).

I'm not sure there is a easy refresh. The drop down arrow next to the library icon has a library maintenance sub-menu which includes check database integrity. This might only point to missing items. You may have to go through the edit metadata windows I pointed to above to manually find and remove the formats from the database.

Next time don't go use third party tools to directly change items in calibre's database. Everything required for library maintenance is built into calibre, why anyone would go through the back door is amusing to me.
