I did not test this by deleting books from the Kobo GUI since your statement above seems to say that using calibre to delete the last book in a directory does not also remove the directory.

Jon, Jon, Jon... Please read what you write. In your first post, you wrote "leaving empty author directories (if they use calibre). In your response to my post stating that calibre removes the directory when the last book file in it is deleted, you now claim that you are using the Kobo GUI to delete the file and the directory is left after the last file is deleted.

Please let us know by what convoluted logic you went from one statement where you explicitly stated "I can see many people deleting from the Kobo and leaving empty author directories (if they use calibre)" to your response about using the Kobo GUI to delete files. I most certainly hope that you do realize that calibre and Kobo's GUI are not the same?
