The auto add, as I felt, did not work as expected so I had to try move 10, then 20 then 50 items, 100 was ok. Calibre moved them to library and delete those in auto-add folder. But moving 300, 500 items to auto add folder, the files were process very very slow and seems still there. I choose to move 50 at a time and the job has done.
Kind regards

A lot of work gets done during adding.
It gets done in background so as to not block other use.
You wanted auto delete, which was why you used autoadd instead of the normal 'add' and a manual delete.
When I first built my Library back in 09'
I Moved a block of books to a 'Work Folder' and had Calibre do the Add from there. Once the add completed, I spot checked, the emptied 'Work" and repeated.
A bit faster, but more work that way.
You got done, so no more worry.
Do remember to Backup your
Library folder so you never need to do this task again.
