Sorry if this has been discussed before - I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I have been trying to stop my Calibre library syncing to OneDrive and believed I had finally done so. My Calibre library is on an external drive. Or so I thought...

I was freeing up space on my C drive and deleted the Calibre library in the OneDrive folder, thinking I must have forgotten to delete it before. But once I did this, everything disappeared from my Calibre library!

This has happened several times now and I've had to retag and edit metadata for 5000+ books each time.

I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have to do this yet again, but is there a foolproof way to break the link between Calibre and OneDrive once and for all? I don't seem to be able to delete it completely from my system.
