Books in an archive folder

HowardBrazee · 12-18-2021, 11:20 AM

I noticed that a couple of my books are in an archive folder such as:
/Users/howardjbrazee/Calibre Library/_Archived Items/Harry Harrison/Deathworld (5719)

I don't know why that is so. How can I move these to a more logical place?

Let me Guess...
This is a Cloud (connected) folder.

You have already damaged your Calibre Library.
ONLY CALIBRE can move files around WITHIN a Library.
Calibre has no Archived mode, leading me to come to the conclusion that some Cloud or cleaner app has moved things

I have seen mentions of a Mac program called ChronoSync creating folders with that name.

Use calibre's Library Maintenance / Check Library feature to see what has been damaged/lost.

I do have ChronoSync, and use it to synchronize my Calibre with my wife's.

I ran maintenance check and have hundreds of invalid titles, dozens of extra titles, hundreds of extra files, and more errors. I don't want to delete books because they have invalid titles. Most of those invalid titles are author names. I did a search for one of them, and did not find matches in the titles, but found that the name of the .epub has the author's name in it.

OK, how do I get Calibre to move the book to where it should be? I guess I could delete it and re-load it. I expect that would delete any history.
