Calibre not removing files in autoadd folder?

I put a few downloaded books in the autoadd folder. Calibre added them, but didn't delete them afterwards. Every time I restart, it adds the books again. I checked and the files aren't being used by any process and permissions are what I expect them to be. Has anybody else come across this glitch?

Yes - but a long time ago, it was intermittent.

It made me realise I could get the same result, for me at least, by putting a shortcut to calibre.exe into the Windows Send To folder and using it instead.

So, that's what I've been doing ever since.

Yeah, that could work -- I already have Calibre in my sendto menu, so I can switch out 'move the files to the autoadd folder' with 'send the files to Calibre.'
