Can someone please help me with getting my old calibre library onto my new computer?

Can I somehow just get rid of the caliber currently on my computer and start fresh? I've managed to add the library by switching from library to library but when I switch to the library I want it doesn't open the book as it says
" no available formats" although I see the entire book in a readable format in the library folder I placed on the desktop.

How do I move my calibre data from one computer to another?

That's your best bet.

There are several ways to get the old library on the new computer.
1) Export the old library then copy those files to new computer and import them.
2) Copy the whole directory from one computer to another and then create a new library. Put in the location and check "use the previously existing library at the new location."

There is a FAQ topic on this at the Calibre Help site (click Help in Calibre)
