I have converted almost 100 books, Is there an easy way to remove the pdf from the library and put it in another location without disturbing the file structure? I really didnt want to individually drag and drop each book.

There is no file structure. All files are stored in a database. Your original files are not touched by calibre.

Thank You, I just thought that since it displayed both lrf and pdf for formats when you select a book that both were in the library.

Yes they are. You can delete individual format from each book. I just can't remember exactly how right now, I don't have calibre on this PC. But, there is a screen you can pop-up from a select book on your list that will show you the file/formats that are in the database. From there you can delete one or more of them.

Thanks, Bob
I guess I can delete them I am just ending up with multiple files all over the place because I have went conversion crazy, I have taken all my Non DRM books and just for fun have been converting them for all the Readers!

Well, you can delete all those files. Calibre stores everything in a single database file. (SQlite db I think). So, delete all your files, then use calibre's save to disk feature to archive them all to your file system and for importing to other software viewers if needed.
