With the FW3.2.0, this is fairly safe. When you disconnect the device checks for the existence of the files and removes the database entries for any files that are no longer there.

Older firmware didn't do this. The book entries would stay on the database. I think they were cleaned up if you tried to open the book.

I usually add 5 comics at time plus one ebook and i already have something like 30 objects or so in the database.
I'll try to delete them with calibre and i'll see if will make any difference
Deleting from calibre will clean all the database entries up as well as removing the file.

Also delete the old database and let's kobo to create a fresh new one may be a good idea?
Thanks
If there is an actual problem with the database, this might be a good idea. I would do a check on the database first. If it is OK, I'd do a compress on it as well. That will force a reorganisation of the database and remove any unused space. That might help but I don't know how much.
