Ahh, I am sorry I was not specific, it is the drop down menu prior to selecting the format that I am referring to.

The drop down menu has these entries
Remove Selected books
Remove files of a specific format from selected books
Remove all formats from selected books except
Remove all formats from selected books
Remove covers from selected books
and then, with a divider
Remove matching books from device

I have a library of several thousand books, I select them all and then go to this menu to remove all the unwanted formats but, with a slightly shaky hand I have in fact inadvertently selected Remove ALL formats

Thank heavens for good back ups.

I just wondered if it were possible to insert a divider between all of the options to make it less easy to select the wrong option, because once the process begins it is not possible to stop it.

Thank you for answering this comment personally. It is not very often you find this level of personal attention.

I am very grateful for Calibre
