Kindle Paperwhite - Deleting Books

I have no problem deleting books from my Kindle Paperwhite, but am curious about what actually happens.

I find that when I "Remove" a book by holding on its thumbnail and choosing Remove from Device, it does delete the .awz3 or other format file. But, I still see the folder for the book if I look under Documents. I'm not sure about that book's cover thumbnail, as those are kind of cryptic.

I'm under the impression that a Kindle "Remove" leaves some remnants of the book. Is that correct? I've read that restarting clears those up, but I'm not sure.

yes, the best way to delete is via calibre not the kindles own remove function.
