Deleting ebooks and re-searching

Greetings,

It is my understanding that Calibre doesn't alter the actual location of your ebooks, instead just messing with its mirrored library. So, if I delete an ebook, it gets deleted from the Calibre mirror library, but not from the actual hard disk.

What I'd like to know is how I can prevent it from reading ebooks I previosly deleted from the Calibre library when I do a new search of my ebooks dump folder (a folder where I just throw every ebook I acquire) to get the new ebooks I got.

Also, is it possible to make Calibre delete a book from both its mirror library and the original location of the ebook (effectively destroying all traces of it from my PC)?

Bonus question unrelated to Calibre - is there an easy way (with some software or whatnot) of purging a tree of folders of all .docs, .htmls and .txt? Subfolders included.

Thanks!
