I have several books in a series, and I have read and deleted the first five. However, when I do a search for the next one, the first two also show up in the search results (but with a placeholder for the cover images) and when I click on either of them it thinks for a minute and then says "Item Not Available: the item you were reading has been removed and is no longer available on your Kindle".

Calibre thinks the first 5 have been deleted; looking at the Kindle's documents directory I see there is nothing relating to #1 or #2 in the subdirectory for the author, but there is still a .sdr folder for #5; the azw3's have all gone. There is also a file called .fuse_hidden0000b9de00000030, the first few bytes of which are the title of book #5.

What do I have to do to exorcise the ghost of these books which are haunting my device? Is there a way to force the Kindle to refresh its metadata and clean everything up?
