Clean my Mac has solved the issue on MacOS
There is a tool addin for ccleaner as well now.
Clearclean has an extension for BSD (non-Mac) users
Problem has been solved for the majority of minority of users annoyed with maintaining “deleted” files by 3rd parties.

Trash bin: Allow setting removed books to be permanently deleted on library close.
But what happens if you switch libraries and then close?

A library's trash is pruned/emptied when the library is closed.

Note that the preference for how long to keep trash is per-library, not per-user.

And a library switch is a library close.

I'm not seeing that option.

I tried duplicating an existing book, then deleting the duplicate, and I'm still not seeing that option.

The old solution, for all its flaws, made it possible to restore accidentally-deleted files and retype the metadata, this does not.

I am on Calibre 5.44.0. I cannot use Calibre 6 on this system.

P.S. Now they're showing up in the system trash. Not sure why they weren't before.

calibre's trash is not available in 5.44. It was implemented in version 6.16.

For what it’s worth:
I just created a regenerating symlink on the desktop: linking to the calibre trash folder. Mainly because I don’t close the app so even the automated tool offered above doesn’t help me.
Each morning I drag the link to the trash bin. Then empty it.
Files I wished to delete in the first place now only take one drag and drop action to get rid of.

What's wrong with this answer?

Which you can verify by reading the release notes for version 6.16 ==>> https://calibre-ebook.com/whats-new

Allow undoing the deletion of books from the calibre library

Now deleted books are stored in a calibre "Trash bin" from which they can be restored with a single click. To view the trash bin, right click the "Remove books" button.

@cor go back to the other thread and answer our questions so we can try to help you solve this. Otherwise, why should we bother?

I scanned through 8 pages and didn't see an option to empty caltrash. I'm on macOS 15.5. and Calibre 8.5.

Is there a way to empty the caltrash? Or does it stay there forever?

See Remove Books->Restore recently deleted:

Click image for larger version Name: Screenshot 2025-06-28 163655.jpg Views: 17 Size: 81.1 KB ID: 216544

The Clear button deletes everything permanently, set the Permanently delete after: N days to suit your needs (soonest appears as 'on close').

Thanks. It isn' the most intuitive location, but it works! I set the retention to zero since I have 3 backups of everything and the Mac trash folder keeps deleted items for 30 days as well.

I appreciate the feature but I don't need it att.

The trash folder doesn't keep the book's metadata. Restoring it from there won't do anything useful.
