Weird "ghost" books after jailbreak
Hi. I have recently jailbroken my kindle in order to use KOReader. I have noticed that a couple of "ghost" documents appeared on the main screen at some point. They show up as "new" and have the same name as books. I tried removing those books from the device, but the ghosts remain.
When trying to open them I get an "Application Error: The selected application could not be started. Please try again.". I can't long press to open a menu either. I believe the only relevant thing I did aside from usual KUAL apps was installing and then unintalling KPVBooklet (it didn't work). So, is this a known issue? Can I remove those documents somehow? I thought a reset might do the trick but I'm afraid to do it with the jailbreak and all. Device ID output: Kindle Paperwhite 3 platform wario muscat rev. 2 code 0G4 FW 5.6.5 |

Removing how?
A screenshot might be helpful (both of the device UI, and of the matching internal directory tree). I don't suppose those could be macOS resource forks? I'd imagine the Kindle properly ignores those, but, who knows. |

This is what I see when I open the Kindle: https://bayfiles.com/iba8n3Bfn2/Kindle_2_jpg
Now when I enable only books: https://bayfiles.com/Tba4n9B2nf/Kindle_4_jpg You can see that last one ("Gutenberg ...") disappeared along with KUAL. Now only documents: https://bayfiles.com/f1a5n6B9n0/Kindle_5_jpg My clippings is just a .txt, the other two are the offenders. When trying to open: https://bayfiles.com/g9a0n8B6n4/Kindle_6_jpg As for the directory itself, this is what I see: https://bayfiles.com/e9a8nfB9n9/Kindle_7_png . That's with hidden files and OS files visible. Tree: https://pastebin.com/xwsmzDNL |

Your dictionaries are shown in F:\dictionaries\* but your documents are not shown in F:\documents\*.
Why is that? |

The only out of place things I can see are two old KOReader metadata files in Dyson, George\Turing's Cathedral - George Dyson.sdr
They're in a sidecar folder, so I doubt they could cause any issue, but, who knows... I'd try a proper restart, see if that shakes things up. If it doesn't, check that you don't have any .fuse_hidden_xxxx files in there... |

The dictionaries are in F:/documents/dictionaries/. The books are in F:/documents/[author]/.
This is the whole kindle, if it helps: https://pastebin.com/ZzEJvSW8 |

Yeah I'll probably reset it. I was just hoping it was a known thing that happens.

Note that I said "restart", NOT "reset" .

Oh my bad. Restarting does nothing. No fuse_hidden files either.
A factory reset would be bad? |

It is up to the user to decide if losing the jailbreak is considered "harm". |

If you are still at 5.6.5 or any any case less than or equal to 5.9.6.1, you can do a reset to clear everything, then follow this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=313086 to have a 5.9.6.1 jailbreak PW3. You would have to use booklet KUAL instead of kindlet KUAL
