Check library should have told you that you have missing formats, not missing books. Did it? If would have also given you the opportunity to tell calibre that the formats are gone forever.
A "format" is an instance of a file purported to contain the book. Some common formats are epub, mobi, prc, pdf, etc. It is perfectly legal to have books in your database that have no formats, which would be the case if you deleted them.
