First I'll echo murg's question: by "drop" you mean delete?
PeterT: As to the book count, quite a few, but memory usage is shown as 297 out of 1400 MB, so it's nowhere near full.
I've had a go at following your instructions, but the installer drops the connection before I get a chance to look at the file list (I'm running XP Pro and using DirectoryOpus rather than Explorer). Looking at the .kobo folder there never appears to be an upgrade folder, nor do either of the files you mention exist. In fact the .kobo folder has always seemed to me to be very sparsely populated.

Whilst I'd like to get to the bottom of this, it's not too much of a concern as I generally use Calibre for managing the bulk of the content (all of the non Kobo DRM books) and Adobe Digital Editions for DRM-restricted library borrows.
