You do not need a VL to find James Patterson (or any other)

If you remove all the formats, you'll have basically deleted your books. Only metadata remains, not the files. A book must have a format for you to be able to read it.

You can remove the other formats the same way. For now, I would suggest getting rid the original_???? formats which are leftovers from various calibre tools.
The easiest way to do this would be to select all your ePub books using the formats:EPUB search, and in Remove files of a specific format from books, select the original_???? formats and click OK. |

When I am backing up the Calibre books now there are files that say mobi caltrash. Lots of them.
Do they eventually go, or do I have to do something? This is all new to me. ![]() |

See item 7 in the drop down menu ==>> Calibre User Manual - Remove books -> Restore recently deleted - you control retention period etc from there.

The default is that the deleted books/formats disappear (are permanently deleted) after 2 weeks. You can change that default in the dialog that @BetterRed referred to.

Would you leave the other formats in my list and not delete any of them? |

Yes. The time is checked when calibre is closed, so when you stop calibre any deleted format older than that will be permanently removed.

That said, in your case I would consider deleting the "ORIGINAL_..." formats. They don't serve much purpose once you are happy with a conversion. |

NOT FROM A BACKUP. The whole purpose of a Backup is a frozen view in time.
