Hello everyone! When I searched the forums for this, I found mostly results from 2010 and Calibre has changed a bit since then so I want to make sure I'm doing this right.

Here's the situation: Upgraded computer, just about everything except the peripherals and drives was replaced, so I have a new install of Windows 10 I'm setting everything up in. I reinstalled Calibre and went to find my library to move it over. I found three libraries in three completely different locations (one in user folder, one in documents folder in user folder, one not in user folder at all). They do appear to have some overlap but all also contain unique books. The user folder one has the most recent modify date and is the largest.

How did that happen, how do I prevent it from happening again, and how do I squish 'em all into one?
