I have several collection's that I am trying to delete. (And I have not done a sync with Kobo) I have tried actually deleting them on the device and then connecting to Calibre, then opening the utilities and making sure that the collection does not show and then click the 'OK'. But occasionally they keep returning. I even redid these steps and selected the purge option, yet they are still coming back. Then I tried connecting to Calibre and opening the utilities and then finding the rogue collection. I can highlight it, but can not figure out how to select delete.
I am not sure what it is that I am missing and apologize for being such a pain.  |
What PeterT said is probably what is happening and what you want. But...
The utilities plugin has no way to create or delete a shelf. It sounds like you are function that is there to clean up duplicate shelves. While this does delete shelves, it only deletes duplicates. That is, if there are two or more shelves with exactly the same name, remove the duplicates so that there is only one shelf of that name. This function was added to clean up after recurring bug in the Kobo servers that will create duplicates during the sync. As far as I can tell, this is not the problem you are having, so that function should not be doing anything for you.
If I am wrong, then I have no idea what you are doing. In that case, can you please provide the full steps of what you are doing? That includes the menu items you are selecting, the titles of the dialogs that are being displayed, what is displayed on the dialog, or a screen shot, and the buttons you are pressing. From that, hopefully it will tell me what you are doing.
