How to Eliminate Duplicate Libraries

I have only the Kindle on PC software, and have just added Calibre. The ebboks on each are in two different Folders in Win7.
I have figured out how to make the different Folders the same (by dragging and dropping), but this results in both Folders having the same stuff in them, and adds up to a lot of duplicate books.
So how do I get Calibre to use the same Folder as Kindle, so that I do not have to have duplicate files? Or vise versa would work too, but I seem to have no control over where Kindle on PC looks for its LIbrary.
Thanks.

You don't.

Think of the Calibre folders as inside a database and ignore the man behind the curtain.

If you uncheck mobi in preferences->behavior->use internal viewer for
the kindle viewer should then open the book.

If I remember correctly this will also leave the book in the kindle program display. I don't have kindle installed at the moment so can't say for sure.

OK, I took the Speakintohe advice. I opened the Kindle on PC program and went to Tools, Options and then Content. I changed the shown content location to the one which would show Calibre content, and now the Kindle for PC shows what in in the Calibre library instead of wht is in the MY Kindle library. So that solves half the probelm, and I believe I can now delete the Kindle library.
This may cause another problem, in that when I go to Amazon to download a book, it will (or may) not know where to put it on my computer. But at least I do not have to have two identical libraries on my computer, full of the same stuff.
Thanks.
