Calibre not allowing me to delete Books from Kobo touch

I have just downloaded the latest update for Calibre, for some reason this update and the last one won't allow me to use calibre to delete books from my Kobo Touch.

It's working perfectly here, so, some details are needed:

- What OS? What firmware version? What calibre version? Yes, you said latest, but if someone does a search and finds this in a few weeks, latest will be something else.
- Does calibre see the device and display the books in the device list?
- Can you see the books via the OS tools? ie. Windows Explorer or Finder or whatever you use.
- Can you delete a book using the OS tools?
- Can you send a book to the device successfully?
- Can you delete a book using the devices UI?
- Were any error messages displayed at any time?

The answer to one of the above, might trigger the solution. If not, a debug log should help. To produce this:

- Start calibre
- Right click on the preferences button and select "Restart in debug mode"
- Calibre will close, restart and display a message about a log
- Connect the device and wait for calibre to finish processing
- Try to delete a book.
- When that finishes, close calibre,

The debug log will then be displayed. Please post the complete log either as an attachment or wrapped in "spoiler" tags. I should be able to see what is happening from the log.
