The carousel might remember the existence of the files even after you move them because of how android handles media. Often powering the device off (all the way off, not to "standby") then on will convince it to look again.
If the hard reset doesn't do the job then consider deleting the txt files off the device using a file manager (not CC or calibre). Because you never intend to launch a reader app, CC doesn't need a file once it and calibre have agreed on its name, which happens when it is first sent. From that point on CC asks calibre for metadata based on the agreed-upon file name, regardless of whether the file still exists on the device.
If you tell CC to put the txt books in a folder that is used for nothing else then you can delete that folder. CC will re-create it next time you send books. Then you delete it again.
As I mentioned above, you might be required to power the device off then on to get android to notice that the files are gone.
