Card A (2 books) how to bulk erase duplicate on device?
Hi everyone,
I send to device quite a few files, and then changed the metadata for some of them (author, title changes). I now have a long list of files showing "Card A (2 books)" in the "on device" column of Calibre. When I right click and choose remove; remove from device; I see the two different files. How to display in calibre the "on device metadata" to select the ones I want to remove. Thank you for your help. François |

Or if you wanted to keep only the ones on the SD card you could remove the card, delete the books and put the card back in.

@The Duck:
Thank you very much for taking time to answer and for giving a detailed account of the procedure. I will try all this in the morning. Thank you very much for your tips: much appreciated @speakingtohe: thank for your answer. But the "2" books are already on the device... and I would like just one deleted. Regards François |

As I was not actively reading any of these books, I decided to delete them all and put them back on. I selected them and then selected remove selected books from device leaving them all checked. In all but one case it only removed one copy. Not sure what is up with that. Helen |
