Those folders are beyond calibre's control and will have to be tended to manually.

When you remove a book from calibre it will be deleted from calibre's library DB and and from the only area of your computer that calibre controls, calibre's library folder.
Hm. That makes sense... and I have noticed that Calibre only imports books when I tell it to. So is there no way to stop it from re-importing returned library books then? Aside from manually hunting down and deleting the files...?
