I recall someone yesterday cleaning their library of rogue folders by using the move library feature, found by clicking on the library icon. You did say you have everything backed up, right?
If I was going to try this I would first go to
Preferences -
advanced and
Check Database integrity. Upon completion of this check I would deal with anything calibre pointed out first.
Then I would choose, via calibre's library icon, to move my library to another directory in my Dropbox.
Calibre would then move everything it is aware of and leave the junk behind and I would now have a clean library structure.
I haven't done this yet myself but it was recently reported to have worked great.
Good Luck.
Update: Here is
the post from the person that did this yesterday.
