What happened?

When using the quick match feature with override details enabled, empty series and authors with no books are not removed.

Quick match can be ran from 3 different places.

  1. Edit modal when editing a single book
  2. Batch select multiple library items and select quick match in the app bar context menu
  3. The "Match All" option in the library list for matching all in the library.

To enable override details you can select the "Prefer matched metadata" setting on the server config page or when using batch quick match (2) toggle "Update details".

What did you expect to happen?

Series are removed if they are now empty.
Authors are removed if they have no books and don't have a cover image, description, and ASIN.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add a new random series to a book that you know has a series in Audible (e.g. Enders Game)
  2. Use the batch quick match with Audible.com. ensure update details is enabled
