I want to use my existing Calibre library folder to receive new books. I note that if I set this as the "Automatically add books folder" it says that the originals will be deleted. Of course on import the files will be put into a new folder for each book. It does not say whether any files in these folders will also be deleted! I don't want to risk losing all my files by setting the Calibre library folder as also the automatic add folder.
Would someone please advise me.
