Under purchased books, why are my hidden purchases still there and how can I get rid of them

I have hidden several books and usually under Purchased Books in iBooks, they are gone, but for some reason, the last time I hid some, they were still there. What am I doing wrong or is something wrong with the system. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

My hidden books show under the 'Purchased Books' collection as well (and some books show multiple times), I assume that there is a bug in it (you could leave a 'bug report' feedback via this page). I've set Settings > iBooks > Show Purchases 'off', you can view your purchased books via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (which shouldn't show hidden books)

The following worked for me:


1. Disable Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases

2. Manually close iBooks from your device's multitasking view

3. Open iBooks


4. Enable Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases

5. Manually close iBooks from your device's multitasking view

6. Open iBooks


After following the above steps, only the purchased books that I haven't hidden we're listed in the "Purchases Books" collection in the iBooks app.
