Perhaps the fact that I just changed the "after..." from its default? Does it only apply going forward?

The Kindle will automatically keep the last 7 copies of a periodical, deleting older ones. In order to take advantage of this, you need to have the statement
in the recipe (That's two single quote/apostrophe characters, with nothing between). If you're using the stock WSJ recipe, follow these steps:
- Click Fetch News↓Add a custom news source
- Click Customize builtin recipe
- Click the drop-down list, then locate the recipe you want to customize. (You can accelerate the search by typing the first few letters of the recipe)
- In the Available user recipes list, select the recipe you chose to customize.
- In the Recipe source code window, find the line starting with 'timefmt ='
- Delete everything between the quote marks as shown above.
- Click Add/Update recipe
- Click Close
To run your modified recipe, click
Fetch news, then select your customized recipe from the
Custom list, download as usual.
You should delete the older copies on your Kindle, because those won't be managed by the Kindle, only the ones created by the customized recipe.
With respect to syncing Kindle + Calibre, that's a feature on the horizon. In the meantime, you need to do it manually.
Hope that helps.
