Hi everyone,
I've just found this site, hopefully it can help with the problem I'm having.

I was messing around with my calibre and managed to import a number of .mobi files that are zero bytes in size. They now appear in my calibre database. Does anyone have a good way of removing them from the command line.

I've tried

calibredb list -s size:=0 --with-library /data2/media/calibre/ | calibredb remove

The first command lists the zero size books correctly but the second part gives out saying that I need to specify the books to be removed. Has anyone come across this before.

BTW I'm using version (calibre 0.8.35)

Thanks.
