Folks, I feel caught n a strange cycle. I'd be grateful for any observations or help. Bear with me, please, while I describe it:

I have an epub I've been formatting, that was ready for a final visual subbing. So I installed it to my Aura HD (F/W 3.12.1), and all went fine. A few corrections, which I marked with highlights, and then edited the project file on my PC from those annotations. Then I went to remove the epub from my Kobo, ready to connect and sideload the new version.

The Kobo registered the "remove" request, then locked up. Pinhole reset, try again ... this time the removal was successful. I shut down then rebooted my Kobo (it seemed reasonable after a lock-up), USBd it to my PC and copied the new file on.

But when I opened the new epub on my Kobo (yeah, I'm leaving out the bit about stopping the USB connection, but trust me, I did it) ... the annotations were still there, but in the new file.

Went into the Annotations option on the file and removed them manually, went to remove the file ... and repeat the cycle. Lock-up, pinhole reset, restart, remove the file, reboot, connect to my PC, put the new one on, eject from my PC, open the new epub ... and I have the new epub, but the annotations are back. Huh??!

How do I break this cycle?

I will say, I have no such issues with any other epub, but I also have no such issues with this same epub on my Kobo Touch.

Is there a way to manually remove any record of this file from my Aura HD, so I can start again?
