What happened?

I removed a book from my filesystem, but for some reason it's still showing up as missing on audiobookshelf.

What's worse is that there's no way to remove it now, either from within the android app, or the web interface. Really it should be auto-removed on rescans.

What did you expect to happen?

A rescan should remove books that are missing.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Delete a book
It still shows up and is marked as missing in audiobookshelf
There's no way to delete it.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.7.16

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome
