OK, sorted - thanks for help.

Backed up (made a copy of library folder)
In Windows working on copy...
I copied the books our of the wrong folder they were in
Put them back in main library folder - where they should have been.
Then I saw there was a pre restore metadata - COOL because I accidently did a restore when I was unsure of the issue.
So removed metadata file and renamed metadata backup one.
Opened Calibre, created a new library and pointed it at this copy - so far it looks great
everything back to Pre messup.

This is only here for reference in case someone else drops thousands of books into wrong place :=)

Thanks to the person who thought a metadata_pre_restore file was a good idea, it was.
