Are you saying instead that iOS CC is showing Genre items that have no books? Android CC doesn't do that. I would argue that showing empty item lines is a bug, just as not cutting the genre items apart at the comma is a bug.
My son Steve_Haley is the developer of iOS CC. At the moment he is deeply under water with other "life issues", but at some point he will chime in.
BTW: I suspect that if you turn genre off then turn it on again then the empty items will disappear, assuming that empty items is the problem. That process should reconstruct the database with current metadata.

No, I wasn't wanting to remove the entire Genre group. I'm trying to get my Genres down to a reasonable list that can be scrolled and has value instead of a ginormous list of things with 1 or 2 items each. As I posted in my original post on this thread, CC imported my books in multiple genres in a weird way that gives me tons of extra entries under the Genre tab. I'm reassigning books to only one Genre and 'sending them to device' again, but since the empty list items still appear, it doesn't help.
I did turn off and turn back on "Genre" and even hit "reset list" on CC, but it didn't seem to recalculate (happened instantly) and the empty items are still there. At this point I think I probably need to delete what's on my ipad and reinstall the whole library from scratch. I'm guessing I'd need to deleted the CC app from my ipad and resinstall it? Hopefully it won't remember my old settings.
