There were qt cruft folders in ..\AppData\Local (cache, calibre-cache, calibre-ebook.com, and calibre-parallel) and in ..\AppData\Roaming (calibre-ebook.com)

I deleted them all, then immediately after starting calibre and viewing an EPUB, I had a 'cache' folder in ..\Appdata\Local and a 'calibre-ebook.com' in ..\Appdata\Roaming.

No doubt the others will come back in the fullness of time Ψ³

Interestingly, I don't see anything similar for other Qt based packages - e.g. Sigil, qBittorrent and Malwarebytes
