Thank you Don.
My current thinking is to create folders for each type of file (eg azw vs txt vs rtf) on a separate drive and search the main locations by file type, then move them to the new folders, choosing to not create duplicates as I go.

I would then need to list ALL files in those directories alphabetically (to catch those books which are in more than 1 format and manually review/delete (not a lot of fun but cant think of a better way - open to suggestions btw)

I would then have Calibre create a new Library of the resultant cut down and relatively non duplicative files.

Issues:
No covers - who cares
No OPF - Dont know if this is important or not

What have I missed or is there a smarter way

TIA
Steve
