I am accumulating many files in my calibre library that I have finished dreading.

I want to delete those files but still maintain a list of books I've read.

If calibre is expecting to find those files when opened/running, I am not sure it would be a good idea to simply delete the read files from my calibre library directory.

Can I just delete the files I've already read and perhaps re-scan my library?

Could calibre keep track of books I've read without the files being present in my calibre library directory?

Or how are other folks dealing with this?

Thanks,
