Moving Calibre in Windows

kblechman · 02-04-2011, 04:07 PM

Due to space considerations, I have to move my entire Calibre PC application from Drive C to D. I have Windows 7. How do I do it without loosing anything.

Is it your library that you need to move for space, or you actually don't have room for calibre? calibre has an option to move your library under switch/create library.

If its calibre you should be able to uninstall then reinstall and change the path.
I haven't used calibre in windows I'm not sure if the installer gives you this option, maybe someone else can verify.

I use WinXP and Calibre does let you select your installation path. I'm pretty certain it's through the Advanced button you'll see during the initial part of the installation process and that's where you can select the location you want.

Next to the Library Icon, there is an option to Move Library (assumes connected drive

)
Click
Point (new location)
Slurp (while you wait

)
Enjoy
