Other Formats Not Deleted?
I keep my library in MOBI format and delete other formats using "Remove All Formats from Selected Books, Except...". This morning I was using Send to Kindle to duh send something to my Kindle and noticed an EPUB was still in the folder. Curiously, there are no EPUBs listed under "Formats". I looked in the directories of a couple of other recently added titles and noticed the same thing, other formats that weren't deleted.
Why was this not deleted, not listed under Formats and how do I find these other formats to delete them? Thanks, tidy library girl

What version of Calibre are you using? There was a bug in this area in the 0.8.36 release.

0.8.36
Will update. But still... is there a way to figure out what directories still have other formats in them? |

Yes. If you click the down-arrow alongside the Library icon on the toolbar, then select "Library Maintenance", "Check Library", it will first do a check of the SQL database, and then ask if you want to compare the files in the library to the database. This will find the surplus files, and allow you to delete them.

The update solved the problem, and that Check Library information is pretty cool! Thank you Harry, thank you Kovid!
