Question Calibre is sending 2 books to a different folder, not /BOOKS/ on my Kobo device

Hello!

I got a Kobo Glo a few days back and transferred my books from Calibre to the device using the "Send to device" option on Calibre. At first my books were sent to the root folder but I wanted to place them in the BOOKS folder so I deleted all of them and edited the template on both KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended plugins as well as in the "Sending books to devices" option under Preferences to this:

Code:
BOOKS/{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
Now most of my ~400 epub files end up in the BOOKS folder just as I want them, but 2 of them are sent to folders that Calibre is creating: BOKS and BS. Deleting both folders and sending the books again through Calibre makes those folder appear again.

What could be the cause of this behavior? I searched the forum but I couldn't find similar questions. I tried moving the content of both folders to the BOOKS one using the OS tools (Finder) but after the device finishes importing the books they get and error message. I suppose the device can't open the books because the database gets corrupted as I used moved the files without Calibre.

I hope you could help me with guidance on how to solve this. Thanks in advance!

PS: I'm using Calibre 6.11 on MacOS Catalina (10.15.7). Both KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended are updated (2.5.1 and 3.6.7 respectively). Attached picture to show both BOKS and BS folders.
