I got some episodes on an usb stick. After watching I delete the episode (else I can't remember which episode I've already seen).
When I delete an episode, then shutdown Kodi. Next day I boot kodi, the last episode I deleted is back again. Not the episode I deleted 30 min before that last one, but always the last.
Is that some sort of bug? In kodi or with libreelec?

Firstly, I believe Kodi will keep track of the watched status (whethered index or not). You might need to check the wiki but I think this is enabled by default. Secondly, are you sure you deleted the file from the filesystem and not just the entry from the database assuming you're using a database? How did you do it? Did you confirm over ssh that the file is removed?

Kodi never marked anything from an usb-stick as watched. It does that fine in other streaming adons like youtube, just never did with local files.
When I delete the file, there is a confirmation dialog and then the file disappears from the list. Same for the files that stay gone, as the files which magically resurrect the next day.
I'm not using a database.
Just viewing them from:
Kodi > gear-symbol > filemanager > usb

Turns out that from the season-view, right click an episode (local on usb!), there is no option to delete it.
So the issue is in the file-manager. Should be easy to reproduce this. Anyone?

Sorry for confusing you with things that might have been off-topic. (althou with that option checked, via the videos-menu-item, 1 confirmation, same result)
back on-topic:
to reproduce this:
1. go to the filemanager (Kodi > gear-symbol > filemanager > usb)
2. delete a file from the usb drive, confirm the dialog. *file disappears from the list*
3. shutdown Kodi
4. boot Kodi
5. check if the file is still deleted in the filemanager.
In my case the file is back! Maybe there is some delay in the actual deleting process? Because if I delete a file, watch another episode, then delete the second file, shutdown and boot, only the second file is back.

I have no help to offer, but I had to comment that this made me "laugh"; so here are some sh*ts and giggles --
I've browsed through pictures that I've captured from a streaming webcam (smartphone) that I've connected, and after I've done some deleting and such of the photo files, I've noticed old thumbnails get used for the new pictures - that's straight forward to understand; I regenerate thumbnails, exit Kodi, and it's all back in order (so I think). Also, if a file is deleted, a new file will fill in at the sequential name order (not continue after the last (greatest) file number - still straight forward to understand, I rename the files to get them in tight order and regenerate thumbnails (so I think). Next, here's where it gets crazy - viewing along, everything seems fine and patched up; I hit Info to play around with the controls (Kodi has a picture with information to the right) -- but it's an old photo that I didn't think I deleted (and wanted). "OK, it has new thumbnails on old pictures" - "Wait, no", I scroll forward and backward, and the old photo is gone; I see the new photo (so in this mode it must be scrolling thumbnails). At this point I just close it up wondering why it is so convoluted, not sure if I deleted things or not, am I even remembering what all just happened correctly, or is it doing things erroneously. (Did I really bump a screen shotshot of Kate Upton that now shows up on my back yard picture thumbnail??!? Opps, LOL)
Just wanted to share this and also make any Kodi programmer aware since I don't think a regular user would tolerate this and give Kodi some bad PR. Funny to me at the moment, but I am at a DEFCON 3 with what's going on.
