I'm not sure what on earth I've done, and it's been this way for awhile now, I'm just finally starting to (attempt to) fix it.

I had my Calibre libraries in a folder designed to backup to Google Drive. I eventually got tired of Google Drive, as I was repeatedly ending up with errors, so I uninstalled it, created a new Calibre Library, and moved all my old books over. They are added just fine to my Calibre Library now, but the problem is that the old directories where they were stored can't be deleted. When I attempt to delete, I get a message that states: This is no longer located in <path>. Verify the item's location and try again.

I'm sure I'm probably not explaining this well, but I'm now stuck with "dead" folders that can't be removed. Does anyone know what's causing this, or how to delete these folders that Windows seems to think aren't even there?

Thanks.
