If you manage to only corrupt metadata.calabre.
Shut-down Calibre completely, then delete the corrupt file.
Then start Calibre and WAIT while it re-scans your K3 (can take a bit of time. Go play with the cat while you wait.)
Hi there
Tried that, but the new file was way smaller than it used to be, and I still had a lot of books with wrong "On Device" status.
Learned to hard way to backup everything, every time, before I let Calibre and K3 talk to each other.
