I have edited the metadata author, copied the book to a temporary folder, removed the book and then added it back into Calibre. It still uses the author name I am trying to eliminate.

The folders always use the Author metadata field. If after you ensure you have corrected the author metadata field you still have an aberrant folder check to see if the book is listed in both folders. Some times if you have the book or cover open the files will be copied to the new location but the old folder won't be deleted due to the OS preventing the deletion because it is in use.
Run
library maintenance and see what it reports.
