Questions about Unistalling and Reinstalling Calibre
Hi

Since version 2.00 some of my database has been corrupted. I don't think its specific to 2.00 its just timing however that and the fact that Marvin doesn't work with 2.00 has made me debate whether to go back to 1.48. However that means uninstallling and reinstallng Calibre from scratch. My origial install was in 2011 so its been a long time since i had to do this and I'm quite nervous tbh.

I have a few questions if anyone can help please? I have over 5000 books in Calibre.

Should I move my Calibre Library folder to a seperate location place until my new Calibre program is up and running? I have data in the metadata for plugins that need to be installed once Calibre is up and running.

Then can I just copy my library folder back into the location Calibre sets up for it and then will all my books appear just as they are now.

Any advice would be gratefully receieved. Thank you
