Deleting files
I plugged my Kindle Paperwhite to my computer and the Folder named "documents" has a bunch of files with titles of books I've read but that I deleted from my Kindle after I read the books.
Is it safe to delete those files through the computer to free up that space?

The first three of those are book files. If you deleted the book from your Kindle, the files should not be there. The last one, sdr, is normally a folder extension, not a file extension. It's the "sidecar" folder associated with a book where things like your current reading position, highlights, notes, etc, are stored.

Yes, you can. But I am puzzled by why the book files are still on your Kindle if you've deleted the books. They shouldn't be there.

They way I delete books from the Kindle is by "touching" the book a few seconds until the sub menu appears and I see the option "Remove from Device".
