Thank you very much for mentioning!!!

It seems the catastrophe wasn't as bad after all! (lucky)
Indeed the files are copied instead of moved, which explains why my laptop is running out of diskspace lately...

Seemingly I only need to select the old directories and move them out to a new folder.
the remaining folders and files are the copies of the original, and can be deleted!
This makes days work into only a few minutes!

as far as changing the directory,I have to select at least one directory.
Calibre will copy all files into that directory;which I kind of find silly to have all books double.

It would make more sence to have a Calibre specified database file with links to files in the library, instead of copying everything over again.
