Help Understanding Calibre Functions

I use a Mac (Leopard) and have just started using Calibre mainly to change Metdata on certain eBooks where the author or title is incorrect. I use a Kindle 2.

I have figured out how to load the files into Calibre's main screen. I have kep the folder where I told Calibre to store files open while using Calibre so I can see what is happening.

Whenever I open a file (azw, whatever) with Calibre, it shows up in the main screen on Calibre. Also, a folder gets created immediately in the Calibre Storage folder.

If I click Convert, Another copy gets stored in the same place, with the mobi extension, if that is what I selected, even if in preferences I chose azw as the Format for Single File Save.

The main problem, though, is whenever I highlight a file in the main screen and choose Remove Books, it deletes all copies of it in the Calibre folder.

All I want to do is remove it from the list to keep the list neat and organized.

I must be missing something about how the program is intended to work. Any help would be appreciated.
