Love using calibre with my Jetbook Mini. Conversions are decent out-of-the-box. (I haven't taken time to try to tweak ePub-to-FB2 formatting, if that's even possible.)

However, when I remove books from the Mini, the author directories are left behind. This results in having a folder for every author that I have ever sent to the reader, and it clutters the interface when I'm looking for something to read.

Is there a way to tell calibre to remove the author directories when all books have been removed that are by that author? I know that the index files are necessary, and that removing them requires the Mini to regenerate them if the book is restored to it, but that is utterly acceptable to me.

I will open a bug-report if necessary, but perhaps someone here knows if this is possible to implement currently.

Much aloha.
