Well and then you just go into the calibre folder and delete the dublicates the programm created. Now you only have the information stored in calibre and your books archived the way you want. Did I understand everything correctly?
NO
Never use the file system to delete books(files) within the Library...That breaks the Library.

Use the Librarian (Calibre) to Remove All Formats (not the same as Delete, which removes all records of the books. This way everything remain in sync
