I have a way to discover them (using RED) but I have read so many times that we should not even venture into that library folder with a mouse. I can look for them, and then use Calibre to remove them, but is there a way that Calibre itself can find them? With a lot of errors happening to me, this seems to be one of the contributing factors.
Those are called "empty books" that you can create as 'place holders'.

If you really want to delete these in the Search: formats:false
Then Select all (found), Delete key/Recycle button...
