Need to uninstall Calibre in Linux Mint 20 and start over!

akwusmc · 12-20-2020, 03:55 PM

All,

I just changed OS from Ubuntu to Mint, When I installed Calibre (from the cli script on download page), I moved the library and config info (~/Calibre Library and ~/.config/Calibre) from the old hdd to the new, thinking that would get the new installation back to what I had.

I was wrong.

Now, every time I try to read a book, I get an "[Title] has no available formats." error. I'm sure that there is some jiggery-pokery I could commit to undo what I've done, but I feel like it would be easier to uninstall Calibre and start over from scratch (since I have the old library and can just 'Add' all the books again). But there is little to no information available that describes how to uninstall Calibre.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Find your library in the calibre library icon

Thanks, Dunhill ... that has apparently done the trick!
