For me, yes. I can see it in Calibre and file explorer. I was finally able to delete sideloaded books. I first "deleted" the folder from file explorer. It would not work if I searched and deleted individual files, I had to delete the folder. THEN, when back on my kindle, I had to remove the book from the collection and THEN I could delete it.

I have a few more to delete but its kind of a hassle so I'm leaving it be for now. I have noticed that my kindle has been acting... weird lately. May be reaching end of life. Probably not the same thing happening with you though. I bought mine used a few years back and I read on it for hours a day.

ETA: In the midst of these deletes, two of the missing books showed up. Not at the same time. No idea why.

ETAagain: Based on the other thread, I think a hard reset may help. Maybe too much old junk. Also may need to remove old kindles from my account?? (I'm not ready for that yet!)
