Unless the database is already corrupt, logging out of the devices and back in is not going to help with this problem.
When sending a new book to the device, calibre doesn't actually update the database on the device. After the send, if you have the collection management options enabled, the books are put into collections. If for some reason the book is not processed, these will still be there, but they are completely safe.
It is perfectly safe to delete books from the device using calibre. The KoboTouch driver does exactly what the device does. I have spent a LOT of time making sure of this. And if anyone does have a problem, please tell me. I'll try and work out what is going wrong and fix it.
It is even safer to simply delete sideloaded books from the device. The firmware knows how to handle this. It will remove the missing books from the database in exactly the same way as if you delete the books through the interface. Some very old firmware didn't do this. But, when you tried to open the book, a message about the book missing was displayed, and the details were removed safely.
@johnnyb: Please don't spread misinformation about something you obviously don't know anything about.

I already wondered if I had a unique device as I often remove books and add books using Calibre
I actually wouldn't even know how to do it on the device itself...
