kenmark · 10-29-2009, 11:04 AM

I was searching for a particular eBook within the ADE folders today and found the following two folders:

1. C:/Users/[Username]/Documents/My Digital Editions/Annotations

The above folder contains a file (or multiple files) for every book that I've ever used (or maybe just imported) in ADE. I have since deleted many ePub and PDF books that I've opened with ADE and these files remain behind.

2. C:/Users/[Username]/Documents/My Digital Editions/Thumbnails

The above folder contains a thumbnail (or multiple thumbnails) of the book cover(s) for every book that I've ever used in ADE. I have since deleted many of these books, yet the thumbnails remain behind.

Does anyone know of any reason why I can't clean out these folders, or at the least remove duplicates, triplicates, etc....??

Thanks, Ken

(I'm also looking into duplicate (or more) thumbnails stored on the reader itself)
