So, I wanted to get rid of all of my mobi ebook formats as I have the epubs. The mobi format books were taking up over 15GB of space. I decided to run a command in the cmd window (I'm running Windows 7) in the Calibre files home directory:
cd c:\calibre library
forfiles /S /M *mobi /C "cmd /c move @files F:\mobi
My files were moved from the calibre library folders, but the links in the GUI interface are still there. I'm in SQLite and found the table with the formats, but am hesitant to build and run any script that might corrupt the database in my attempts to remove this link. I'm working off of a copy of the database, so I don't do anything by mistake that would wreck things.
Does anyone have a SQL script that removes format links where there is no format file there?
Thanks.
Lynn
