I agree, recycling a number that has already been
generated by the data base is easier than deleting.
This technique has come in handy for me on a number of
occasions.  I've gotten books mixed up when
registering a large number of them during an evening.

While it is possible to delete entries, whether
they're accidental duplicates or they pertain to books
you decided not to label after all, I'd suggest that
instead of deleting that entry from your bookshelf you
consider "recycling" the BCID. That is, if you have
some other book that you want to register, you could
use that BCID for that book, and use the "edit book
details" screen to change the bookshelf data to match
it. [You don't have to do this if you'd rather not; it
doesn't "hurt" the database to have a BCID deleted,
and as long as there's no chance that someone will
find a book with that BCID in it, deleting the record
is perfectly OK. But re-using an existing BCID is 
slightly easier on the database than deleting a BCID
and then registering a new book from scratch. Just a
thought!]
