I used to be able to remove books from my Sony PRS-T1 reader using Calibre (either one by one or en masse). I am running a fully updated version of Windows 7, and I have the latest version of Calibre (1.20), and tried today to remove some books (both one at a time, and multiples at a time), and I keep getting the following error when I try:
calibre, version 1.19.0 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device
[Error 5] Access is denied: u'M:Sony_ReadermediabooksThe
Zombie Survival Guide_ Complete Prot - Max Brooks.epub'
Traceback (most recent call last): File
"site-packagescalibregui2device.py", line 85, in run File
"site-packagescalibregui2device.py", line 596, in _delete_books

delete_books WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied:

Prot - Max Brooks.epub'
While the filename listed will change (depending on the book I am trying to delete), the message is the same - I can't delete ebooks from my device.
Is there anything I can do to solve this error?

This is a security feature in windows that is intended to prevent malicious programs from removing content from your devices with out your permission. Depending on how the program is implemented you may be able to delete files if you start Calibre with administrator privileges. Simply right click the shortcut and choose "Run as administrator."

It might be that the TRS-1 plugin for Calibre is broken, or that Calibre deletion is broken in the version you have. I would try to delete files outside of Calibre using the steps here, and if that works blame things on Calibre, file a bug-report and wait for the next version.
