I don't know if this option exists, or could exist, but is it possible to auto-delete files from their old locations on the HDD as you import them into the Calibre library?

I have a large collection of books, and as importing regularly fails (24% best performance so far, and that took 36 hours or so, so it's not surprising that it gives up sometimes), I have to keep starting from the beginning again. This would be a lot easier if the books that had been imported successfully weren't still sitting in the source folder too.
