sony software has a database/index file, I know that because if you open a book with reader software that is stored elsewhere e.g. in calibre library, it only stores a pointer to that book location, it does not make a copy of the book file

to remove that pointer you have to "delete book" within the reader app - trusting that it will not actually delete the calibre library file

So I am guessing is that when you manually delete a file, the reader software database is unaware & thus claims the book is stlll there - what happens if you say "ok - open the book for me then" - does it then have 2nd thoughts ?
