Question Calibre 32-bit and 64-bit Installed; Uninstall 32-bit?

Hello all!

As the subject states I have both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Calibre installed. I didn't mean to have both but unfortunately I do at present. I had the 32-bit version installed and when checking for a new version I saw the 64-bit version was available. So I downloaded and installed it, thinking that it would replace the version already on my computer. I realize that wasn’t a good assumption on my part, and I don’t often make mistakes like that - I must have been really tired at the time!

Anyway since I obviously do not need both versions installed, and I imagine that there is a potential for conflict with both, I plan to uninstall the 32-bit version. My question is: When I uninstall the 32-bit version, will I lose my library? And possibly lose any files that may be shared by both versions?

I hope it will be a perfectly clean uninstall and yet leave all that is necessary for the 64-bit version to continue working well, but I understand that is not likely - unless there are steps I can take to prevent any problems. (Shout out if you know of any!)

Does anyone here know the best way to remove Calibre 32-bit without adversely affecting the Calibre 64-bit version? Or at least how I can minimize the damage?

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks!

Jim
