I admit the complaint rate is from a super minority. The Op uses off machine storage.
In my case I’m making consistent backups of ‘deleted’ files on an LTO platform. I can’t recover that lost space.

I don’t usually close calibre because I use the news feed downloader.
And again, not everyone has tiny 200k books.
The dread central and ars articles can be dozens or hundreds of megs in size.
Technical books with massive schematic photos can get to a gig or more.

Size is one of the reasons there is a setting to break up internal content sizes for lesser readers. Amazon, Apple, and Boox all have high quality readers with few major issues. Lesser apps can choke on large files.

Anyone ever try storybundle? Their video game and computing book offerings can get quite large to, many hundreds of megs.

When time allows I’ll look into a plugin to add a teach bin to the toolbar to:
Clear trash
Open trash location
Restore trash
