Having Calibre back to default with the 'Welcome Wizard' is how Calibre was when I first installed it on this new laptop of mine.
I overthink things, but that's just the way I am. 
I just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
Thanks for your help. |
I am a bit paranoid about data loss. I never delete something until I am convinced that the replacement works. That is why I would rename the calibre library folder instead of deleting it. I would delete it once the new calibre installation is running. If you are less paranoid than I am then delete the library folder before running the welcome wizard.
As for Import/Export, the
calibre documentation says:

Install calibre on your new computer and run through the Welcome wizard, it does not matter what you do there, as you will be importing your old settings in the next step. You will now have an empty calibre, with just the Getting Started guide in your library.

So, yes, you do want to create a new library with the welcome wizard.
