Yes - the Book entry remains even after you have removed all formats. I would guess this is how many people (inadvertently) end up with Empty book records.

You have to explxiitly remove the Book entry itself (not just the underlying ebook files) for it to disappear from Calibre. In fact if you look at the folder for the book you will see that there are still a couple of Calibre files there (cover.jpg and metadata.opf).
