I don't know if it needs to be a background task to clean out these, but it should at least be possible to manually "clean out" these entries.

I just fixed an issue in v0.9.77 where it was impossible to delete items that were removed from the device on android. So you can remove these now but they aren't automatically removed.
Maybe they should show errors instead of being auto-removed so users don't think it just disappeared? Maybe there is a permission issue that needs to get resolved and that is the reason it isn't found.

Happy that I can manually delete the remnant of the book individually. No need to put extra effort into this. Really appreciated.
