I'm not too concerned because I have all my stuff backed up and this way I can actually control my own device, thanks for giving me the heads up though I'll have a look into it
But you have to take the rubbish out of the database as someday it will cause you to lose everything when you least expect it.

Here's what to do. Make a copy of everything on the Kobo when it's plugged into the USB port. Then log out and start over. When the new database, see what's in it and copy that it the old database getting rid of the rubbish you put in. When that is done, copy everything back to the Kobo and reboot. That should get you back up and registered and no chance of losing it all.

So if you keep the rubbish in your database, one day it will all be deleted by Kobo.
