I thought I posted this question earlier, but cannot find a record of it. Pls forgive if I am not following correctly.
Here is the problem: My Calibre Library show lots and lots of book titles with no available formats, and 0 size associated with the title. If I look in the Calibre library directory, under author, I see multiple directories for the same book. Looking into each directory, one directory has only a cover, and a .opf file...no ebook files. Looking in the other title directory, the same files are present, but a .epub and .mobi file is present. The result it appears is Calibre GUI showing the directory and title that has no formats. and not showing the the titles in the directory that have the ebook files.
The 100,000 question ($1,000,000 with inflation) is how to correct this. I believe I caused it when I noticed the size of the directory was abnormally large. I used (like an idiot) a non-Calibre duplicate file finder, and attempted to delete all the directories that had no ebooks in them. While the deletes seemed to do what I directed it to do (windows reported the file size of the directory at about 1/3 the size it was before the deletes), a look now still shows at least two directories for each book title....one having no ebooks, the other having the ebooks, and, Calibre show the vast majority with no formats (and 0 file size).
Can sure use some help on how to fix this.
Thanks very much,
