re: stats ... there was a file in the .kobo Kobo directory called Analytics.conf file. It was not there in 1.9.16 firmware and I'm not sure if it's required for the 3.11 firmware. I don't know if I delete that file if it gets recreated and zeros the stats, or if it will cause problems? I looked at the file in notepad and it contained things like battery so it probably shouldn't be deleted. I thought I might copy the folder over to windows then delete it from the kobo and see what happens but I don't know if that would cause the kobo to become unresponsive?

As far as I know, the only two items that a simple connection to Calibre would generate would not be directories. You should see two files called driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre. If you transferred some books to your Touch from Calibre, it would depend on how you had Calibre configured if you would see any directories created. In my case, all sideloaded ebooks are stored on the external uSD card in an eLibrary directory.
AFAIK, the analytics.conf file is connected to Kobo's use of Google Analytics. You can find advice on how to disable Google Analytics but deleting the analytics.conf file is not the way to go.
And please... try not to delete files/directories when you don't know what they do. Spend the time to try to find out first, take backups and then delete. Be very careful with any directory with a name starting with a "." as they are the Linux equivalent of a Window system flagged directory. Microsoft is quite serious with the "These files are required to start and run Windows. Deleting or editing them can make your computer inoperable" message when you remove the "Hide protected operating system files" option.
