You're not alone.

One time I hooked up my son's ereader. Then sorted the library view by the on-device column. Once I had all the on-device items at the top I proceeded to go down the list and delete items (hitting the confirmation dialog each time) he had finished reading or would never read. It wasn't until I was into the items without the green check marks that I realized I was deleting items from my library and not his device.

Fortunately I was able to go into my Dropbox and restore the deleted book directories which included the books, covers, opf files and then restore the version of the metadata.db from right before I started randomly deleting books.

Maybe if I had a French cat this would never have happened.
