Managing the calibre database

Hi,

i'm trying to get some ideas on how to best do a full cleanup of my pdfs files.

Here is the problem :


I have many pdf's i want to replace with lrf files of the same title. Now not all pdf's will be replaced so i can't just do a search for all pdf and delete them.

What i need to do is find an easy way to search for all the lrf's i have in pdf format and delete them from the caliber db.

I thought creating a list of the titles by outputing the list of the directory to a .txt Then all i have to do is remove the .rlf portion of it and i have a full listing of all the titles in txt format.

Now is there a way to ask caliber to search for all those files now that i have a txt list of it. Or is there a way to import and remove the same title files from the db.

Any tips would be helpfull as it seems really too long to do by hand.

thanks!
