Thanks for the reply!
So for a very large folder structure, I'm guessing I should write a script to run through each folder and run calibredb add on each one, as opposed to running it on the entire parent directory.
I think the main issue here is that the file descriptor
stays open for much longer after the file is deleted, so the space in the folder is still allocated. Regardless, I'll write up a script to go with this workaround. Thanks again!
