It's using my 4th Gen Kindle (the smaller one without the keyboard), along with a custom column in Calibre that I have called "Collection" containing comma separated values.
The issue seems to be that, even when I set the plugin to delete collections already on the Kindle, collections on the Kindle are staying. My work-around is to delete all 3 of the collections files in the Kindle's system folder. The only problem is that I lose collections for the few books that aren't in the Calibre library.
Is this a known problem or am I doing it wrong?

The only collection file the Kindle knows about is collections.json. Anything else is just a backup or temporary file from the plugin.
You say collections on the Kindle are not getting deleted? If you use Show Details when the plugin is done, does it list which collections are deleted/replaced correctly? If so, are you doing a Restart (not just a power off/on)?
Have you set the customization option to uncheck the box to preserve Kindle-Only collections? It might help to show your settings (in the Show Details report).
