I guess the better question is: Why book information and author information in two different files? or some such thing? So for example I see a folder named: Anne McCaffrey then later down the list I find one titled Maelstrom (one of her books) Is there a reason for this? Because when I look in Anne McCaffrey's folder I see "Maelstrom" and when I open that folder I see it in epub and lit formats.
Its not a big deal as I have plenty of hard drive space and its not like ebooks take that much space up. Someone mentioned having 20 gigs of ebooks! What did they do download all of Project Gutenberg?

Starson17 listed the most common reason (and the cure).
Other possibilities were:
1) at some time, you used a "Save to Disk" while it was pointed at your Calibre library.
2) Your Library
folder was not empty, when you started or you accidentally saved downloaded books there.
3) You have a alternate library program that is using the same folder as Calibre

The ONLY top level folders in th Calibe library folder are the names from the author column. (hint: open the Tag browser window and expand the authors list and see if there art any title names there. Any folder names, not there got are problems to be fixed.)
