Incorrect book count in Calibre Library on Device

Hi all,

First, I have a Kindle Fire HD and I'm using Calibre 1.5 in case that information is relevant to my problem.

I noticed that when I'm looking at my library on the device, Calibre has the wrong total number of books listed. Upon further investigation, I noticed that in some cases, Calibre is counting books that I've deleted from the device.

I figured this out by searching for a few specific titles that I had deleted. When I entered each of those titles into the search bar one by one, it would turn green as if it had found each book, but no book was there of course.

In order to try to fix the problem, I've:

1. uninstalled and re-installed Calibre several times (and I did delete the .msi file after each re-install).

2. installed earlier versions of Calibre.

3. deleted all my books from the device and re-added them in small groups.

Nothing has worked, and right now it's showing that I have 5 extra books.

Related side problem: During all my experimentation, I discovered that when I search for the deleted books on the Kindle, one of them pops up under 'Photos.' I can't long press it to delete it, and not only that, but when I open the 'Photos' folder on the Kindle, or in the internal storage of the Kindle when it's connected to the computer, or using ES File Explorer, the 'Photos' folder is empty!! Please help, I'm so frustrated!
