Okay, this is interesting. Apparently my library is not located in the "My Calibre Library" file as I thought. When I click on the book files links for the 3 copies of a single book, it takes me to a different folder, "Calibre Library", which is not in the main e-book folder of my hard drive. In that folder, Calibre Library, there are three different folders for each book. They each have the same title but then have a different number in parentheses after the title.
So for the book Clobbered by Camembert (a cute cozy mystery, lol) there are three folders - one is Clobbered by Camembert (7), the others have (8190) and (10293) after them. No clue what these numbers stand for - while this book is in a series, it's #3, not #7. When I look in these three folders, the contents are mostly identifical but only the first one (7) containes a metadata file. My guess is that this is the original and the others are the duplicates.
I looked in some of the other folders of authors and noticed that some have only two copies of a books and there are a few without duplicated entries.
I also see that the numer of folders in Calibre Library (1941) is larger than the number of folders in My Calibre Library (1600). Each folder is an author, so there are multiple books in some of these (not counting duplicates).
FYI, I'm heading off on a work trip tomorrow so won't have access to Calibre for a few days.
I tried deleting two copies of the first book in this series and there is now only one folder, with the number (5) at the end and the metadata file included.
