When I do those steps, it does indeed only delete the book format and leave behind a folder containing the .opf file, and the cover.
So I guess the first question is whether this is a bug that Kovid wants to do something about - you could open a ticket and ask I guess. I would presume that you may want two things to happen: (1) when the book gets deleted its opf file (and cover?) get deleted too, and (2) it deletes the folder?
If Kovid doesn't want to change this behaviour, then it would be an easy enough addition to the Quality Check plugin for something like "Clean orphaned folders" which given a root directory looks for folders that only contain .opf/jpg files and deletes them.

Not quite the work flow I use.
I connect my device and use 'Save to Disk' (device SD card in my case) with a big-ish
save template the Chaley helped with
If I notice the message in the On Device column, that there are 2 copies (the book ID# is the same, but a variation in the filename caused the 'dup'), I right click the title: delete selected from device.
I think this is a WAD , not a bug .
BTW this is not a orphaned folder on the device (but it could become one after a cleaning. so that would be another
feature
), but a Orphan in a folder. (I went looking for a example and found your other case)
My normal, is the folder contains All books in the series (or Author for NoSeries) with their OPF (my device navigates by folders, and shows valid, viewable formats, so I eliminated a folder)
