I'm glad you came up with a solution.

What exactly does my OS have to do with it? Calibre is the application that is moving the files to that dir. If it were operating the way my system is setup, it would be rm -rf $ebook, not mv $ebook ~/.local/share/Trash. I have absolutely no need or desire for, and indeed, hold a certain amount of contempt for, the concept of a "recycle bin". When I delete or remove a file within an application, I expect that application to remove files, not move files to a hidden dir that a users X environment may or may not be aware of. It's fine, not a problem, was a bit of a surprise to find it and it's been dealt with but please don't speak of things you know nothing about.
I wonder if there is a setting somewhere to just straight remove files or if everyone who uses calibre and doesn't use KDE/GNOME/$DESKTOPENV should check their dot files.
