Just wondering if, after deleting my entire calibre library, do I need to compact the database in some way? I noticed that any new books I entered began with the next sequential number right before I started deleting.

So, I had, say... 139 books, deleted 139 books, re-entered books in a completely different order - but book numbering began at #140.

While I realize this does not affect calibre per se, I'm just wondering if I missed something.

Edit: I highlighted books and pressed the Del key, I did not use the toolbar trashcan icon. I did still get the Are You Sure dialog though.
