Sorry, I don't know what you mean. The only thing I can think of is that you are planning to create the collections using the device and not from calibre.

If I want to delete the empty collections, I set Automatic management, and driver configuration only option is "Delete empty bookshelf", is it going to change my existing collections that I set management manual mix authors and series?
If you set a collection columns in the driver configuration and set "Metadata management" to automatic, the next time you connect the device, the driver will manage the collections. This will create collections or delete them if those options are selected. And it will move books to or from the collections to match the values in the columns. It doesn't matter if this was done by calibre before or by you using the device.

But, I have to say this: I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to achieve. A couple of things you have said seem to be at cross purposes but maybe I am misinterpreting what you are writing.

Can you explain what you really want? By that I mean, what sort of collections you want on the device and what will be in them.
