Calibre still shows the books that were lost, as being in the Calibre library. Only if I try to open one up, do I know whether the books is actually there or not. Is there a way to have Calibre search the library for missing books without my having to go one by one, through several thousand books, to try to figure out what is missing?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Run the Library Maintenance tool (right click the Library Icon), Select Fix to try and repair (delete) the missing books.

If you want to keep an 'Empty book' metadata record

You might try forcing a Metadata backup (I don't know what it will do if it runs into a missing title folder)
