you should jailbreak the kindle anyway imho. jailbreaking a kindle brings you so many good things and opens up so many new features. it would be dumb NOT to jailbreak it. even if you don't want to use it for mentioned usecase.

Crazy Idea - many people use their kindles at places where they don't just can plug them in into a computer. i as an example use my kindle while not at home or while laying in bed before i go sleeping and only plug it into my computer if i sideload new books on them. other people take their kindle with them on vacation where they don't have pc's.
you don't always have a pc and usb cable with you, but you always have the kindle self with you if you want to delete the files. the whole point about a kindle is that you can load it up with a ton of books and then read books for weeks, months or longer on it without having to use a computer or additional device.. you just need to charge it and thats it. so why should i want to always plug my kindle into a computer just to delete folders? if you sideload new stuff anyway.. okay. but if not.. why not do it locally on the kindle instead. its quicker.
i have times where i read 1 book in 1-2 days. so i would have to plug in my kindle every 1-2 days into my computer just to delete a single file. this means i first have to switch on my computer if its not already, search the usb cable, plug the usb cable in, navigate through the folder structure to find the specific folder, delete it, unplug the usb cable, shut down the computer (if needed). instead of just opening the filemanager on the kindle, go to the folder, hit delete, done.
doing it on your kindle is way quicker.
