FWIW
I usually test my instructions In the rare cases that I do not have the needed structure, I will preface those instructions/ Not Tested That is a clue to be religious about possible risky procedures (BACK IT UP ...just in case) We do not tolerate deliberate destructive procedures being posted . |

DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS. I swear I had read this, but it turns out to be bad information.
------- I think it is easier than DNSB is mentioning. Go to the browser on the left column, open the Formats group, and right-click on MOBI. One of the options there is "Remove the MOBI format from selected books" (of course, the format changes if you select a different format). I am 95% sure that this will NOT remove the format IF MOBI is the only available format of the group, but I can't find that reference at the moment. Last edited by fogice; 06-04-2024 at 04:22 PM.

Perhaps just search on formats:EPUB, select all, remove files of a specific format from selected books and select Mobi then okay.

Once the search is done, would it not work with set a virtual library with the results and delete form there?

You must create a VL from the search. This is normally in the category of: a One time event, so KISS Both the status line and the Tag browsers show numbers of how many books are involved. (I like dealing with small numbers ) |

Question I meant is can any of the other book files be deleted in the same way as I have just done the mobis? Or do I need them all? Don't know what a virtual library is |
