			3 separate library entries in the library? Simply highlight the entry and press Del on your keyboard. There is also an icon along the icon bar - Remove Book |

			Don't which which xed you mean (I know of two), but I suspect you now have a 'broken' library, suggest you run Library maintenance->Check library Calibre is a relational database application that uses folders and files as a convenience, because storing large objects in consumer level relational database is inefficient.
