Erased books from Kindle after reser are again mysteriously back!
Hi everyone. I have Kindle Touch for quite a while.
It was version with adverts, which I long time ago jailbreaked to get rid off those adds and put my own screensaver pictures. Mostly I upload books via Calibre.
Pls don't ask, how I jailbreak it, it was so long time ago, I really do not remember.
But some books in Kindle start stuck and cause freeze whole kindle. I need reset it and only then I can read other books without issue.
So I decide to wipe out all and load new set of books.
But no matter what I am trying, after reset (either reset device via menu or 40 sec power button hold) I have all books back!
Also no matter if I erase them via Calibre, or via Explorer while Kindle is plugged in USB...
I also checked all hidden folders and files, there is nothing, where it could be restored.
There are around 135 books, many of them unreadable/corrupted. They have altogether 150MB and even after highest compression it made 95MB file.
Biggest files are only in "tts" folder and after some search of files names I found those are only "samantha" and "tom", male and female voices for text-to-speech. So I am not dare to delete it, even I do not use this feature, but I guess it would not help for this problem at all anyway.
Any suggestion how to wipe out whole Kindle into really clean state, that after reset all books will not reappear back?
