When calibre does book deletions it moves the data to transient folders which are then sent to the Recycle bin. So to get that space back you must either delete those folders from the Recycle bin, or empty the Recycle bin entirely.

That's basically what I've been having to do. "Remove Books" from Calibre, then delete from the My Documents>Calibre Library folder separately. It all goes into the Recycle Bin. I don't mind that. I just empty that every couple days. I wish calibre let you delete the physical file. =\
