> Pray tell WHY you need to do this?
Because I mainly use Calibre to convert files to epub-format, and when that job is done I only need to preserve the epub-file so I can copy it to the device I use. I don’t want to use Calibre to organize a couple of thousands books.
> The folder IS Calibre. The folders belong to Calibre and are not yous to mess with.
Weeelll, I like to mess with the files and folders on MY hard-disk. And as I mentioned, music management programs gives you the option of not deleting the files just because you remove them from the library.
> If you want to preserve your book outside of calibre before deleting from the library then simply use calibre's "Save to Disc" function before you delete.
Thank you Agama; that actually solved the problem.
