Calibre's Copy to Library: Delete after Copy ( AKA a Move)
'Moves files.'
You can only Move 'Known' files (those the GUI can access), the rest will be orphaned (GUI says none, but the Library folder has files).
When I first built up my Calibre Library waaay back in 2010, My PC was in my home office, my Paper Library in a storeroom.
Remote Desktop Connection (Windows # Pro on the host) and the free RDC client on a low end laptop (the heavy lifting is done on the host). Barcode reader, Cover scanner (if the metadata fetch did not find the correct one), on the work surface was all I needed (I did have a hardwired network, but a solid WiFi will work.) You can also use VNC Just be aware there may be security issues onsite (LAN), but not Malware.
As others have already pointed to the FAQ. Keep doing it your way and you will keep seeing this Grief, popping up form time to time.
The Q is not IF, but WHEN.
