Hello,

I try to setup an personal ebook-server, but I haven't found a solution to my problem yet:

Calibre finds an epub-file in my upload-folder, imports it to it's library and converts it to azw3 automatically. So far, so good, but it keeps the epub-file, which I don't need, since both our Kindle PW can't handle it.

Is it possible to tell Calibre to delete the source-file, after it was converted?

I haven't found anything in the settings yet, and since the server - a thin-client - has no keyboard/mouse/monitor, cause our PW connect directly from their beta-browsers to the Calibre-server, it'd be difficult to manually delete them...

Thx for helping out!

Chris
