Power Edit Not working as I expect.

I wanted to clean up my library by exporting the library in Excel, editing the file and generally cleaning it up.
Then I used PE to delete all books in the library. The total books remaining were zero by every indication.
Then I did a universal import of the cleaned-up library export.
Initiating the universal import resulted in statistics which said 1374 books were in the file, which is correct.

BUT, it also said that I had 551 books already in the library!

The number of books actually in the library after doing the import anyhow is 656, which isn't even the difference between 1374 and 551

How can I truly remove all books in the library?
