You can remove a downloaded book from your Kindle device, or you can choose to permanently delete a title from your Kindle Library. Once a book is deleted permanently, it is removed from your account and requires a new purchase if you want to access it again.
Delete Books or Documents from Your Kindle
You can remove a downloaded book or delete a book permanently from your Kindle e-book reader. This works on every Kindle model, including the basic Kindle model, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Voyage, and Kindle Oasis.
To get started, first, turn on your Kindle and tap the “Your Library” section heading.
Find the book that you want to delete. Here, tap the three-dot menu icon from the bottom-right corner of the book cover (You can also press and hold the book cover.).
You can either remove the e-book download from the device, or you can delete the e-book permanently from your Kindle account.
Alternatively, you can choose the “Delete Permanently” option from the book menu to remove the e-book from your Kindle Library forever.
From the pop-up message, select the “Yes, Delete” option to confirm.
