Two entries are sticky and won't go - but I have identified them as being my two Dictionaries on the Kindle - they seem to have some special status.
Thanks again, and I hope this summary helps others.
I suspect, in the long-term, we need plugin whose job is to check database consistency on the K3 and between K3 and Calibre.

Well you already have the ability to do cleanup as you did. The Edit collections shows you what books are in collections and aren't on the Kindle. And Calibre's Device view shows you what is on the Device and whether its in Calibre or not (also visible in Edit Collections). Doing cleanup automatically might be a bit dangerous as many people have items on the Kindle that aren't in calibre.
Dictionaries and some other items can be put into collections but they don't have any corresponding visible file entry on the Kindle. There's no easy way to distinguish these from the books that don't exist on the file system.
