Oh, is that what it means when it says it's "vacuuming"? It's cleaning up all that extra baggage?

Also, it's considering "extra books" those records that it recognized before, when I first ran "Restore Database" very strange Last edited by Geremia; 04-03-2014 at 01:22 AM. |

But since you state that you are not running your library in Dropbox or other syncing file system (Onedrive, Box, Copy etc...) then I don't know how you could be experiencing orphaned folders. The below is the post I linked to previously from another thread. Quote:

Title folder name: 20,000 Leagues under the Sea (233) Line in metadata.opf: <dc:identifier opf:scheme="calibre" id="calibre_id">233</dc:identifier> If Google Drive was ever used to sync the library then the number in parentheses will likely be wrong or missing. |

AFAIK it only happened on Windows and it happened if a format file was opened in an editor that locked the file - Word and Trackers xChange PDF editor/viewer are two I recall. And then whilst the file was locked one went to calibre and changed the author or title. Calibre would detect the lock and issue a 'warning' - but the net result was that you could end up with the modified .RTF or PDF file stranded in the old location. But, that was a long time ago (2012 ?) and it was fixed pretty soon after it was reported. So now if you try to change the author or title and one of the files is locked then calibre it issues this message - Could not change the on disk location of this book. It is open in another program. ========================== However, for programs that don't lock the files, there is the problem of what happens if the location gets changed and then you do a save. I'm pretty sure I have at least one text editor that offers to recreate the old location. Others like the Book Editor leave it up to the user to resolve, in that scenario its not hard to wind up with orphan book folders and multiple epubs in the one book folder etc I can't suggest any immediate solution to this, other than the obvious - don't change a books author and title if you have any of the files open in other programs that might write the files.
