Delete from Kindle & Calibre At Same Time

zom414 · 01-21-2025, 08:19 AM

Hopefully this will make sense!

I've got about 40 - 50 books (USB loaded) in a collection called "Delete" on my kindle that I want to delete from both the kindle and calibre. Is this something I can do in bulk through calibre rather than doing each book individually? I've looked around but can't see anything to do this but probably not looking in the right place! Thanks.

It may depend on how young (model+version) your K is.
The Kindle collections plugin can do some things that are now locked out by later models.
One is get Collections (info) from device. (my column is #KC. This column is not transient like OnDevice. so it remains after you eject

)

I don't really use the collections feature, so I can't give details, But AFAIK there is no 1 step delete from Both Calibre and Kindle.

Switch to Device view (kindle detected). Can you see your collections names in the column? Click the column name to sort.
You can Bulk Delete from the device Here

Remember KC is still set with (your) Delete. Sort; Select all of those; DEL
