mendesitba · 10-11-2016, 07:25 AM

Hello,

I have always deleted side-load content with Calibre and I realized that the sidecar folders (.sdr) are not deleted by this method.

The result is that I have in my Kindle around 389 .sdr folders but only 189 books (almost 200 ghost folders).

Doubt 1: can I set up Calibre to delete these folders when deleting a book? There is any way of bulk deleting the ghost sdr folders?

Doubt 2: I have heard that a great number of vocabulary builder entries could harm the Kindle performance, making it slow. My doubt is that the similar effect would happen due to having a lot of those ghost folders.

Thank you,
