How big is your Calibre installation?
I'm prepping my hard drive to migrate to a SSD and was reviewing the list of programs on my Windows 7 (64-bit) PC as shown in the Program List from the Control Panel. Calibre takes up about 180 MB which surprised me. This is not my library (that's larger) so I'm wondering if this might be related to my upgrade history. I've been using Calibre for at least 3 or 4 years, I think, I upgrade fairly frequently.
So two questions I guess: 1. What would be the rough expected size of a Windows 64-bit version of Calibre? 2. If mine is larger than expected, could that be the result of frequent upgrades? I could uninstall and do a clean install of the latest version but I have some plug-ins that I'd rather not have to reinstall. Thoughts from this great community? Thanks in advance for any help here. |

159.5 MB on my 64 bit Ubuntu Linux. Most of it seems to be libs from other open source projects. Not from previous installs.
This is just the program, not any books. |

If you think you have install kruft, uninstall Calibre: Delete the Calibre2 directory: then Install Calibre
Note: Uninstall does not clean the configuration or libraries |
