1. Why does this happen? I'm suspecting from unexpected shutdowns (either Calibre or system; one of the dates I recognize as a power outage).

2. Is it safe to clear out older sessions while Calibre is running? I was thinking of making a scheduled task to empty out the folder contents every few days.
