Thanks, maybe it was all the duplicate files that were making me think that Calibre is not deleting the underlying files. I will try deleting something in Calibre and see what happens.

And yes, I am well aware that the ebooks are trivial compared to videos and photos. I found a program that looks for duplicates and I have already deleted about 15gb this way, and I have a lot more work to do on that. I also found about 15gb in old Lightroom backup files! And after that I hope to dive into my 40,000 or so photos in Lightroom, and start deleting the "bad" ones. I also found some huge TIFF files that I can convert to high-quality jpgs.

The problem is, now I am obsessed, and I would like to delete ALL unnecessary files, even the small ones. Well maybe not ALL, but I will keep at it until I get sick of it.

You know, I just did a search on my hard drive to find the largest epub file I have. It's 333mb, that's pretty large. And it's "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles, and I didn't know I have it and I don't know what it is (as a book, I mean). I guess it came with iBooks.
