FWIW: I exclude .caltrash folders and full-text-search.db files from backups.

You can remove them now via the Calibre option "Restore" in remove books. It deletes or restores or does nothing, it's cal trash management.

After all your helpful replies I got rid of all my mobis and upgrded Calibre
Something I have been nervous about for ages. Really pleased. But I keep thinking should I get rid of any of these also... AZW3 2685 ORIG AZW3 13 ORIG EPUB 1524 ORIG MOBI 73 PDF 14 Or leave well alone? And if so, which ones do I really not want? What do I type in to find them? Is it the same as removing the Epub? I value this forums help. Last edited by MRM66; 06-17-2024 at 04:02 AM. |

I would leave the PDF alone for now. I would suggest selecting all the ePub books and then using the remove files of a specific format from selected books, selecting and removing the ORIGINAL_* books. You could also remove the AZW3 books from your ePub books if you no longer want/need them. This would leave you with your ePub files.

I would delete the ORIG formats. The easiest way to do that is:
Note: while preparing this post I found a bug in the current calibre version where the tag browser formats list isn't cleaned up after deleting formats. I submitted a fix to Kovid for the next release. In the meantime you can "force" a cleanup by typing E (for edit metadata) then immediately pressing OK. EDIT: The fix is now in calibre source and will be in the next release/preview. Last edited by chaley; 06-18-2024 at 08:22 AM. |

Got halfway and chickened out lol I seem to have 2 Formats Lists to pick from. When I add a book to calibre I add all the details Edit Metadata Custom Metadata Formats So some are still saying Epub.Mobi in the box there. Most of my 4000 books Too many to type te change to just EPub |

The real Formats is the upper one. It is a list style with only 1 value per line. |

To create it I always type in what format the books are They were mostly Epub.Mobi. Now they only want to be Epub. But won't it still show in the books details? |

Remove it using Preferences / Add your own columns.

All that said, I think you should do what you are comfortable with. None of us are you and none of us do things in exactly the same way. |

I have deleted the Epub.Mobi column I created in formats. just left with EPub. So the box is empty in the ones that I created Yes its possible the custom formats have incorrect info. But Amazon adds details and I delete reviews etc and keep the book details Amy happy with that. Just the new books I now buy,have EPub in the box now. PS. Chaley looks like you live near me ! |
