You could manually delete the unwanted book title files.
Manually deleting files (or adding them) in the calibre library is definitely not recommended and a Very Bad Idea. The database keeps track of those files and manually removed files can result in an inconsistent database. While Library Maintenance can correct some of the potential issues, it's best not to tempt Murphy.

Edit: Should have read to the end of the thread before replying. Sirtel said much the same in a shorter form.
