ERROR: Cannot open file or folder as it is in use: Could not change on-disk location of this book's files. The folder "D:\Calibre LibraryFUrestore\Amy Cross\Dead Souls Book 00 - [The Dead Sou (642967)" is opened in another program, so calibre cannot access it.This is usually caused by leaving Windows explorer or a similar file manager open to a folder in the calibre library.
