Can I Delete MBP Files From Calibre?

I import from my Kindle folder to Calibre and it picks up these MBP files which I think are some kind of index file and of no use to me.

When I do batch conversions they give rise to errors.

Can I just go to the computer and delete those files from that folder? Without upsetting Calibre in any way? Calibre puts them in the 'unknown' folder.

Could I just delete that folder without upsetting Calibre?

Please ask Calibre questions in the Calibre forum, to where I'm now moving this.

NEVER use the OS to modify the Library. Bad thing happen to the integrity of the database.

Unknown is the Author? Simply search (or use the Tag Browser) for authors:unknown and formats:mbp
Select all: rightclick:delete :selected Formats:mbp from the list

Now we will cleanup those that are now 'empty books'
search authors:unknown and formats:false
those have no other formats and can be deleted (using Calibre )
