Not sure what to make of this: so I created a new folder called CalibrePort inside the d: Calibre folder bc the import dialogue said it wasn't empty (it had a folder called John Schember that auto-populated). Once the import was done, an error message popped up saying

Code:
calibre, version 4.23.0
ERROR: Failed to create library: Failed to create calibre library at: u'E:\\Calibre'.
You will be asked to choose a new library location.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 161, in get_library_path
  File "os.py", line 150, in makedirs
  File "os.py", line 157, in makedirs
WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: u'E:\\'
I *think* that's because the original Calibre library on my old PC was on the E drive.

So I chose a new library location. It finished, and the settings had all imported, all the plugins and layout tweaks - but no books. I quick switched from the "you have to choose a new library location" library to the original intended CalibrePort, and that has everything.

Can I safely remove and delete the folder I created for "you have to choose a new location?"
