Moving Calibre Library

Moving Calibre Library

I understand HOW to move the Calibre Library. I'm just confused because when I open my Calibre Library there is a folder inside the Library with ANOTHER folder with it also named CALIBRE LIBRARY with books inside it. Why is that? And what do I do with it?

Whot you may have done was point your Library creation to an empty folder of a previous Library (calibre will not create a Library into an occupied folder)

with Calibre SHUT DOWN:
Copy ALL files and folders in the nested Folder

and paste them 1 level UP

Calibre Library < destination of paste
Calibre Library\Calibre Library <- Copy everything in here
Then delete the NOW EMPTY folder

When you next start Calibre, it won't find the library and it will ask you to point it to the lost Library
