Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the issue
Matching Emily Brontë and Adam Savage bring up the wrong bios and photos.
Other than removing the authors - which removes the books - there seems to be no way to correct this.
(I added this as a bug instead of an enhancement because of the multi step challenge of removing the incorrect information. Perhaps it should be an enhancement though?)
Adam Savage appears to be a duplicate with another author. Google agrees with me though that Savage is the Mythbusters guy.
And this isn't Emily Brontë or her bio either - the name isn't that close even:
At first, I thought maybe it was the special character in Brontë's name but there's no such thing in Savage's name.
The behaviour I would have expected for a duplicate would be a choice to make manually. For Brontë, I would not expect to see a completely different bio and person automatically inserted. Perhaps a "No match" sort of message instead, like other authors that had no matches.
Also the behaviour I'd like to see is the ability to remove a mismatched author's info not purge the author and their books from the library.
Running this on Ubuntu 20.04LTS
My scanner (I think irrelevant?) options are:
Steps to reproduce the issue

How are you running audiobookshelf?
Debian/PPA

I'm not disputing whether a change is appropriate, but just to confirm my understanding of the current situation, are you able to go back to clicking the pencil, then delete the ASIN, bio, and picture, and click save, and that leaves you just where you were to start?
When I hover over the picture, for example, a little trash can appears for me.
@strmca commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2023):
I swear I tried that last night and it didn't work but in the light of day now it appears to. I tried to remove Savage's info but it highlighted but delete did nothing. Now today, I can do exactly as you mentioned and obviously no version update to the software. That's really strange. Maybe just some weird glitch on my end?
Additionally, neither author gets a match today either - which is closer to what I'd expect to be proper behaviour.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2023):
For your scanner settings screenshot keep in mind that if you are disabling "Audiobookshelf metdata file" then the scanner won't use the updates you are making manually to book details.
Is there anything that needs to get fixed with this original issue?
@strmca commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2023):
Ah, thank you! I will re-enable that one then. I was struggling with a bunch of CD ripped audiobooks and took the easiest path. Now, I think the scanner will only affect things added going forward?
I think the original issues are maybe some weird glitch on my end. Possibly related to having a server that's old enough to drink in almost any country in the world. Thank you though for your attention!
