formats:false only works if you have preceded it with a Library Check, to give Calibre chance work out you have entries in your database with no formats on disc. formats:false used immediately after deleting the folders from disc does not work.
Whilst I understand how empty books work and their purpose and that in each case when you add an empty book Calibre creates a folder into which you may subsequently put formats. This makes sense.
I still maintain that a novice user like myself would not unreasonably expect that Library Check and Maintenance routines would identify database entries with no corresponding folders or formats on disc and give the user chance to update the problem.
Please note that I am not complaining, I love Calibre and this small niggle only came about because I noticed a problem and decided to share it and now I know the workarounds it will not be a problem going forward.

Ian
