I experimented with this a bit. The Kobo driver doesn't actually delete the collections, instead setting them to "deleted". Collections with this status don't show on the Kobo but are still in the db. Others have speculated on how they can be made to be truly deleted, for example by doing a sync with the mothership. I don't know whether "deleted" collections have a significant performance impact.
I also found that collections won't go away (be set to "deleted) unless there is an actual template in the template box or an actual column name in the collections box, or both. Interestingly enough, the column name doesn't need to be a real column. Example: I was able to delete all my collections by setting the collections column box to the lookup name "foobar", which of course doesn't exist. How to change this behavior isn't obvious because it is likely that some people depend on how it currently works. I am strongly tempted to leave it the way it is.
Of course, Preferences / Sending to device / Metadata management must be set to automatic for any of this to happen.
