Aussiecubs · 03-24-2018, 02:18 AM

In the process of upgrading and transferring my Calibre library between different computers over a few years I have managed to finish up with a sub-directory called "calibre" in my calibre directory.

So half my books are stored in a directory D:\calibre\ and half my books are stored in a directory D:\calibre\calibre\.

I would like to fix this mess up and have all my books in the main directory e.g. D:\calibre\.

I am reluctant to start messing about shifting files using Windows explorer as I am guessing this will wreck the Calibre data base.

I would appreciate some advice on the best way to go about fixing this problem.

Cheers,

Aussiecubs
