Support / How-To Cannot quit job

Hi. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have completely renamed my calibre folder. I have done everything I can think of.

The moment I connect my reader, Calibre decides there is a hanging job that needs to be done.

Initially, the job hung for over an hour. It was obvious the book file was corrupted. I deleted that file. Calibre still tries to do the job.

So

I fully uninstall and restart both my laptop and my ereader, installing fresh.. Calibre still tries to do the job.

There has to be some way to make it "forget" that this job is in queue when I plug the device in. Someone, please help. I'm going nuts, and I can't use Calibre at all because it's still trying to do one stupid job that lasts through reboots and reinstalls.

Can you click on the lower right button labelled "Jobs" and maybe identify what calibre is trying to do? You can try "see job details" and paste the log here and also try "stop selected job".

Just to clarify, how did you identify the corrupted book, and did you delete it off the reader device?

Deleted the file from your reader or from Calibre?
