I'm in the process of revamping my workflow system and libraries, so I've started deleting empty and 'test' libraries I'd created over the last few years. In doing so I've discovered that Calibre has two Quick Switch links to the same library, which just happens to be my main library.

One is listed as calibrelibrary - e:/dropbox/calibrelibrary

The other is CalibreLibrary - E:/Dropbox/CalibreLibrary

The only difference is the capitalization. The actually directory in Dropbox is capitalized. I did look inside each library and it's the same number of books, the same columns, the same order/sort. My computers are all Windows machines - either WinXP or Win7.

My main question is can I delete one without it affecting the other? If it does delete both and I have to reconnect the library will I still have all of my settings, searches, virtual libraries, etc?
