Question Reporting back - now no books at all!

suggest 1. remove calibre from laptop
2, copy those 2 folders - i'd use the excellent & free freefilesync utility - google it
3. install calibre to laptop - it should then find everything
Did exactly what you said
I now have no books at all in the new installation of calibre!
But some of the plug ins are there!

I had another look at my 2,000 epubs copied from the desktop calbre folder.
I'm no good understanding files, but the epub files look different

They dont have a file with spots on now. Added a pic for you to see.

Also noticed that when I open my windows user folder and open a calibre library folder there that database file says 126kb ( also there are no books there!)
But when I open the calibre library folder full of books I just added to Documents, it says 12,736kb
But as I say they are there, but not showing in the calibre folder that has appeared in my username folder
Very confused now
