If you delete the book from the device using calibre, it will clean up empty directories. Deleting the books through the device interface, probably won't. But, honestly, who cares if there are some empty directories hanging around. It won't break anything.

And if you are going to hit a file limit in a directory because of the subdirectories, you will probably hit it sooner without them. And FAT16 is about the only commonly used files system where this would have been an issue.
