Troubleshooting I can't delete an empty book on my paperwhite - Page 2

The Content Catalog is stored in the system partition, so if you are jailbroken you can delete "/var/local/cc.db" and the Kindle will have to rescan all books. Otherwise you are out of luck.

I'm out of luck, then, but thank you everyone for trying.

I've been using Amazon's Send to Kindle; downloading a dozen or more two to six page news articles every night. Then I'd load on my computer and delete from Kindle using Calibre. Kindle got so clogged up that I couldn't load any more. Calibre wasn't erasing the folder and metadata. I had to hand-delete more than a year of folders.
