Hello!

I'm having a very strange problem and would love some help.

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that Calibre has
1) Missed some books that are still in the library folders. The Calibre program doesn't see them, but they do exist in the Calibre Library folder.

and separately (maybe it's related, IDK)

2) has started randomly deleting books.

I'm using Calibre Portable if that helps.

I can't figure out how to replicate either of these issues, and I'm leery of trying because this has already deleted 5 of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books while I wasn't looking.

Anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this from happening in the future? At this point I think I'm going to have to redownload all the missing books, which is a pain but doable. I definitely don't want to worry about this happening again in the future though. Is Calibre subject to come kind of corruption, or ID confusion problem?
