Any suggestions?
If you use the "Save to disk" feature (right-click on a book) it will respect your template and create new directories as necessary. If you just want to find the file easily you can highlight your book and hit "o", this will open your file manager to the correct directory. Do not delete or change files here as this might confuse Calibre, only copy them to another location.

Note that Calibre's library directory structure and file naming is considered part of its database, and it is not subject to change for a host of reasons (also, this issue has been debated to death in numerous threads). It's not designed to be user-manageable. Use the mentioned GUI functionality to export files if you want to manage your directory structure yourself.
