Hi all,

I have many books, for which their book format is missing and I want to remove. So, I did "Check Library" and found them with "Missing book formats". According to Help:

In the case of missing formats, checking the fixable box and pushing this button will tell calibre that the formats are really gone. Use this if you are not going to restore the formats from a backup.

So, I checked the box and clicked "Fix marked". I was expecting that Calibre removes them, instead Calibre has removed the entries in the "Check Library" and left them in the Library.

Am I missing something?

Is there a way to remove them automatically now?
