MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - [iOS] CC Imports books with multiple "genres" into new bins

I'm still working on fixing up my Genres and Tags.

Is there any way to get CC to remove an empty Genre list item (one that has 0 books)? I found a mention online of setting Calibre options for "Sending to Devices" to "Automatic Management" and this would supposedly enable Calibre to delete "Collections" when they were empty. But this did not remove either Genre or Tags that were empty.

Ideally, if I could get CC to do this, I could just slowly fix up my tags and Genres over time. But if I can't get it to delete empty list items, I suppose I have to delete the entire library on my ipad air 2, fix all my tags/genres in Calibre, and then reupload the entire thing. So how do I delete the library on my ipad? Delete the CC app and reinstall?
