I do get the dialog box that states that 'The 1 selected book(s) will be permanently deleted.....' At this point when I click on 'OK' the entire folder for the author is deleted. It's as if I had all of the books for the author selected (which I don't) but to add to the confusion the dialog box definitely does say '1' (one) book will be deleted.

I've installed the latest update (2.41) but the problem is still there. BTW, I am using the 64bit version on Windows 7.

Any other suggestions?
RUN Library Maintainence

If the Author folder goes, it is because the DB says there is no other books using (assigned to) it. The DB is wrong.

1)
It may be confused if you used more than 1 OS on the Library
Windows is case insensitive. Linux can create john smith, John smith, John Smith folders Windows can not deal with 3 folders with the same name (to it)

2)
Books were added/changed using the OS <big No No. read the FAQ's and stickies
