All of my books are sideloaded, even those purchased from Kobo. So I deleted everything from the 2E and created a new Kobo account.

This would be the only way to avoid those empty folders since they are synced on Kobo’s servers. I assume you don’t want to load the same sideloaded books onto her device.

I don't understand why Kobo syncs collections when it doesn't sync sideloaded books. All collections on my Kobo were created in Calibre and added to my Kobo via the sideloaded books.

I would just ask for her forbearance regarding those empty folders. You could set up her own account, but then she wouldn’t have automatic access to your purchased books.

My friend, that would be too easy!
As mentioned above, I sideload everything anyway, so no biggie there.
I did find out that I couldn't leave the sideloaded books on the device, not if I wanted them added to a collection. After creating the new Kobo account, I thought I'd be able to plug the 2E into Calbre and refresh the metadata, but no joy. Newly added books would create or add to collections as expected. But already existing ones didn't update.
