Thanks itimpi for setting my mind at rest about upgrades deleting everything. I have a folder called Calibre Library on my Desk Top and in that is a folder called metadata.db but in that is nothing!

I have bought books on a cd or download; I have edited metadata and corrected the names etc and I have converted to MOBI. I have copied a few at a time to my kindle. As I order my Library by Author, when read I have re-edited the book's Metadata by, say, changing the Author's name from Smith to xSmith so all those go to end of list.

That is all I have ever done!

Do you have any other advice?
