I never had this issue before and searching here for "can't delete" & "can't remove" did not help.

I have tried deleting an ebook from "Home", "My Books" & "Manage books". I don't get an error but when the screen clears, the damned book is still there.

The firmware is 4.34.20097.

I did try to delete another recent addition and I have the same problem. I can see this becoming a big problem.

I don't think it makes a difference but I add books through Calibre.

Has anyone had this issue?

Thanks.

PS: The "deleted" books can actually be opened and read, pages advanced...etc.


I think I fixed it, sort of. Thinking I had a bad database, I used Kobo Utilities to compress and Calibre seemed hung up, so I tried ejecting the device through Windows after forcing Calibre closed.

After a bit, when I tried once more to delete that one ebook, the device went into "importing", but once again seemed stuck, at 6%.

I figured I was screwed anyway, so I powered down and rebooted the device - now, that one book is really deleted, and the next one picks up where I had left off (something I did not realize before is that my "next" book always started back at the cover).

I'm almost certain that I made things worse in some as yet unknown way, but I'll toodle along until I can back up all the books to my PC and factory reset the Clara.

PPS: Does anyone know how long it takes to compress the database? I think I may have about 100 books.
