If you saw that error when attempting to do the test it means the database is corrupt enough that it wont be repairable. And it probably explains some o fthe things you are seeing.

2) deleted all sideloaded books from Windows
3) performed factory(& paper clip reset) on device
That should have fixed things. It should have created a new database. It did take you through the device setup?

result - nothing was changed. Calibre shows -
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'E:\ .(..bunch of symbols..)\

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 86, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 621, in _view_book
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 701, in get_file
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\usbms\cli.py", line 38, in get_file
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'E:\..(the same set of smbls..).txt'
What were you doing when this happened? It looks like you were trying to open a book from the device list? Is this correct? If so, that means calibre was able to connect to the device and see the books on it.

Also, when posting an error message like this, please post the complete message. What is in (..bunch of symbols..)" might be important and help debug the problem.
