A long press works on just about any item listed in the UI.

I do have delete empty bookshelves set, who knows why that didnt work, maybe i didnt delete the books via calibre after all ;-)
There are some circumstances were the collection looks empty, but isn't actually. One of these is if the collection has a purchased book in it that hasn't been downloaded and you have the option turned on that only downloaded books are shown in the interface. This is an option that has been removed on the device in the 4.x firmware, but is still there if you are running 3.19.

As a side question: what does 'ignore collections' do?
The driver manages collections for all the books on the device in the current library. That means that if you create a collection on the device and add a book to it that is in the calibre library, the next time you connect to calibre, the collection will probably be removed. The "Ignore collections" option is a list of the names of collection on the device that calibre won't touch. It won't add or remove books, and if it the collection is empty, it won't delete them.
