I was side loading a few books last night
And looking into the documents folder on my kindle I saw some files for books that I have long since deleted from my kindle paper white. I am tempted to clear away all of these files for the books that I have long since finished and deleted from my paper white. However I would like to ask: Is it safe to clear away all of these files for books that I have long since deleted from my paper white? Why does my paper white keep these files around?

Yes it is absolutely safe. If you were to reload one of the deleted books, those files are there remembering your place in the book, and what collection they were in (if any). When books are deleted using Calibre, those files are automatically deleted, I believe.

Except for the part abou collections; those are stored in the collection database in the system partition.
The .sdr data contains annotations only. |
