Cannot Delete books while connected to Calibre

Doart · 12-22-2014, 04:58 AM

Good day to all
I have a problem with CC it that when I send books to my Huawei 7 I cannot delete books from it I get the message that it cannot delete books while connected if I disconnect from Calibre I can delete books on my device.

I am currently running the Demo version with the intention to get the Pro version if I can get my problem resolved.

Here is my problem:
I send 10 Books to my tabs main memory (don't have an SD card as yet) but when I delete a book it get the error that this is not possible while connected.
I want to be able to delete a book on my Tab and delete it from my Calibre Library.
I am almost sure this is possible but not sure how to set this up.

Can anyone please help with this?

You cannot delete books using CC while connected because there is no way for CC to tell calibre to remove the book from calibre's device view.

However, you can use calibre to delete books from CC while connected. If you want to delete the book from both CC and calibre then delete the book in calibre's library view. Calibre will ask you whether you want to delete the book from the device (CC), from calibre, or from both. If you want to delete the book from CC but not from calibre then you can delete the book on calibre's library view and select "from device", go to calibre's device view and delete the book, or disconnect CC and delete it there.
