yup, I know it.. unfortunately the constraint that I have got is this (am unsure if it is really a constraint) - my desktop media server is located in a basement multimedia room with all other stuff like Sky tv, xbox, av receiver etc.) and I rarely actually use it to upload/add books into Calibre.. My search and addition of books happen on the laptop; and so does my reading (on phone or Kindle; where I download it through the laptop-based instance of Calibre) . . I am not sure if I could do that on the content server set-up (not an expert).. I did, however, I know that as long as I am not running two calibre instances off the same library, it wouldn't cause issues.
The thing is, all seemed/worked well for last 8+ years- on the investigation of the modified dates of these duplicated, I can see the problem began happening only from Jan 2020.
Net net- is there a straightforward way for me to resolve this situation? Would the Move/Create New Library help here? And does that actually move the files on a different place on the HDD? or just "tags" the files with a new calibre metadata file?

Adarsh
