So dont do a restore, instead drag and drop the file you are restoring from the recycle bin into calibre.

And just as counterpoint, in the old scheme, try deleting an an entire book, then do a restore. The book folder will go back into the library, but calibre will not know what it is, therefore a maintenance check will only allow you to delete it, not restore it. SO in order to actually restore it, you will need ot

1) find it in the calibre library folder,
2) move it out, (since calibre will not allow you to add fromwithin the library folder)
3) add it to calibre via the add books from sub-folders (one per folder) option
4) delete the original

With the new scheme step 2 is no longer necessary.
