droopy · 08-17-2020, 07:41 PM

My CalibreLibrary folder is 60 GB huge.

According to my Linux Mint OS, my SSD has
99GB available of 232.9GB total.

I pretty much don't have anything else on my SSD. (almost all my files are in the cloud).

I locationally back up my Calibre data to the cloud.

That means, for a while, I will need about twice the space of my calibre library folder:
1) Once for the 1GB data files
2) For the working calibrelibrary directory and all its subdirectories

I don't know what to do. I'd rather not buy another SSD just to have temporary space as I export my calibre data and then import my data.

What do you all suggest?
