Can't delete empty collection

I've removed all books from a collection called "Readerware Imports" and now I want to delete the collection itself. But when I go to "edit collections..." and click "delete collection" I get this error message:
"You cannot delete a collection that has books in it. Use the power edit feature to remove the books from this collection."

Again, I've confirmed that there are zero books in the collection, so I'm reporting this as a bug.

Have you tried using edit collections in more than one place? The one in Your Books is known to be buggy.

I tried in "Your Books" as well as the link provided by Charon07. Both gave the same error message.

>5 astehn: Did you try again? Give it a go now, it should be working better for you.
