More importantly, you should not be performing any actions to the calibre library (structure or files) either manually or through any other software. Any manipulation of the files outside of calibre could lead to data loss. Which means, if you don't have a copy of your books elsewhere, either through calibre or a separate backup, you might suffer permanent loss.

I realized that I Cant depend 100% on Calibre. I have to deal with my local files as well as Calibre library. My complaint of Calibre library enlargement is no longer important, because in all cases I have to deal with two libraries.
