Describe the feature/enhancement

Because of either bad MP3 tag information (narrators in the field expected for authors and vice verssa) as well as creating and moving books to new libraries (e.g. Moving a selection of books from "Fiction" to newly created "Science Fiction & Fantasy"), I have a bunch of authors with zero books attached to them Here is an example from my Fiction library:

Right now, I have to delete each "zero book" author individually, but it would be nice to do a bulk delete.
