Error Message after editing the book in metadata

Hi Admin,

I am getting the following message whenever I edit a book in the metadata and save it.

It saves under both edits. For example, If I edit the author name from "Lee Chilld" to "Lee Child". I have a folder of both the author names.

I have to manually delete the wrong folder after this. Please help.

Code:
calibre, version 5.36.0
ERROR: Permission denied: Could not change the on disk location of this book. Is it open in another program?

Locked file: C:\Users\chara\Documents\Calibre new\Rain, Sarrana\13 Steps to Optimum Self-Esteem fo (12127)

Your library is in your Documents folder (C:\Users\chara\Documents\Calibre new') which by default is a Windows Controlled folder, that's been known to create access problems.

Try turning Controlled Folder Access off, it's in Windows Security->Ransomware Protection.

If that's the problem, move your library out of Documents, which you can do that via the Library Switch/Create tool… I suggest somewhere like

Code:
C:\Users\chara\Calibre\Calibre new
Then turn Controlled folder access back on.
