GeekyGal · 12-09-2011, 03:59 PM

I am running Calibre 8.30 on a Windows 7 - 64 bit system and a Mac OS 10.7 Lion Laptop. I keep them synchronized by saving my library in Dropbox.

For the past month or more, I have gotten the same error in running Library Maintenance / Check Library and cannot figure out what I need to do to fix this. I've got to be missing something simple.

I get 2 Extra Titles. These are same 2 books every time, of course. In each, I had edited the title to shorten it. If I look into the author's directory, these are empty folders, which makes sense. What I don't understand is why they re-create themselves after I delete them, either from the Delete Marked Button in the Check Library dialog box or manually in Windows Explorer and / or Mac Finder. In addition to the empty subdirectory with the pre-corrected title, I also have a correct subdirectory for each of these books with the .MOBI, EPUB, cover and .OPF files I expect to see there. I have tried just deleting the books altogether, restarting Calibre to reload the DB, then re-downloading and re-adding the books as if they were new. That has not worked. What am I missing?

Thank you, in advance.
