Ok thanks. Other folders on the SD card seem ok.
Most likely is that somehow the app's storage permissions got corrupted.
I did the safe thing of uninstalling and then reinstalling cc and also moved the books folders and the books back to main storage. I was pleased that moon reader somehow coped with all of that and books reopened at previous last page. So I just had to reauthorise cc to use my Dropbox.
I did message Google files go app team to say I think your junk files cleaner may have broken stuff.. will update here if I get a reply.
I only keep a small selection of books actually on the tablet so this was not too onerous.
A quick search of Amazon orders says the card is 17 months old so out of warranty but only cost £10. It is a Samsung 32gb card in a Samsung tablet.
I note that the files go app tells me it can save space in "calibre companion media " but does not say how, so I pass on that, in case it helpfully deletes books that I have not recently opened

I think I will leave cc in main storage. I can manually move most apps, cc included, to sd card via settings , one app at a time, but they revert to main whenever Google play updates them. Maybe cc does not like being moved like that ?
