I had 20-30 books with AZW3 and EPUB formats (e.g. path = Title1234 (240) )

I added the same books MOBI format (because I wanted to start with a clean copy (sort of) but I just did [Add books from single directory] instead of [Add Files to selected book records]. So now I have duplicate book folders with the same book name but different suffix (e.g. path = Title1234 (678) )

Now I have 30 or so new books (MOBI) that I need / want to merge into the 'real' book (with the AZW3 and EPUB).

Is there an easy way to recover or should I just delete the 30 MOBI and start over, and [Add Files to selected book records] 30 times?

As a test, I copied the MOBI file into the 'main' folder and did a [Check library] to see if it would add the new format. It did find the new format but it didn't add it. (That's as adventurous as I wanted to get with the Calibre folder)
