Is that enough?
Fingers crossed

It is enough for me. Deleting more could easily get rid of something you want.

I noticed there is a new update in calibre.
Should I be updating it every time & will converting still work if I do?

Calibre hasn't been updated since 30 May. It will likely be updated this Friday.

You update if there is something in the release that you want; look at the release notes to find out. Updating shouldn't break conversion. There is more risk when the major version changes, for example from the current "7" to "8". That happens once every year or two.

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.
And I suggest backing up your library first. I know you can restore from calibre's trash if need be, but if something goes really wrong, it could be easier to copy the library back and start over. Once you have your library as you want, you can use FreeFileSync to copy your newly slimmed down library over the original backup. That will take care of syncing as needed.

For the listings that have the ORIG AZW3, ORIG EPUB, and ORIG MOBI, I would delete those if you no longer need them. I would keep the AZW3 that are the source files along with the ePub. I would also keep the PDF as I won't convert them as that's just not worth it.

Thank you I may do that.

IMHO, it's better to be safe then sorry. Also, by having the source, if you find something not right with the conversion, you can go back to the source and see if it's something you can fix or you need to do another conversion.

AZW files still downloading.

Does it matter that when I download new books now to Calibre it also downloads the AZW files?
As I dont really want it saving them now.
Or are they harmless and to ignore?

Disable this in Preferences > Adding books. There's also another one in the automatic adding tab.

Many settings and tweaks do NOT affect existing books.

Also, Preferences: Conversions: ... are the DEFAULTS for NEW (never before conversions).

Once a Title has been converted, The settings used are stored in the DB. That is the reason additional conversions offer a chance to change the settings for JUST THAT BOOK at the start.
