And even with restoring individual files, just think about what happens if you

1) delete an individual format
2) Happen to change the title or author of the book
3) click restore in the recycle bin
4) Voila! Files that calibre does not know what to do with

The most important point about a calibre library is that you should not operate on the files and folders in it using anything other than calibre. That includes the recycle bin. The new db backend ensures that you cannot use the recycle bin to mess up the calibre library file structure. That is a good thing.
