Morning all!

Nearly every time I rename a book in my calibre library, it creates a new folder with a new set of files (book, metadata, cover)… so the storage space is QUICKLY climbing.

The "find duplicates" plugin doesn't seem to be able to look for duplicate book files in the library, just titles/info within the program itself.

Any thoughts / suggestions?

Example posted - I removed "A Novel" from the title of this book, and now I have TWO folders which EACH contain a copy of the book file, etc. They're listed with the same # (1862), so Calibre seems to know it's the same... but again, the book and its files were duplicated in a new folder...
