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...

That is not right. There cannot be 2 folders with the same (#) AKA {id}
HOW did you rename?
WHAT OS?
Have you run Library Maintainence? (I expect there will be lots of errors)


You Have the folder actively SYNCED . That is a no-no.
You must pause the sync while Calibre is in use AND we really recommend that it be one way (Shadow yor Library)
