It has been working quite happily with calibre 0.8.61 or 0.8.62, it's a bit difficult to sure exactly which one I was running when I last connected them together.

If I can remove all the elements of calibre from my PC then install say 0.8.60 so it's like a first time intallation hopefully it should work.

I looked at Preferences - Misc. and clicking the bottom( ?) button took me to "Roaming" that has a calibre folder in which there are a whole load of files !

Are you saying these aren't removed when calibre is uninstalled ?
Correct. They stay on uninstall, (Calibre does not do a full, 'Purge everything', Uninstall)
they are your custom settings and Library Location(s).
Deletion of that folder, will require you to supply the Library location at re-install, as well as install any user plugins you had, as well as their configration.

Basically this folder contains the Per User configuration (as opposed to the Per Library configuration, which is stored some place in the Library folder)
