@
chilady1 - I think that metadata_pre_restore.db file was created when you ran the
Library Maintenance->Restore database function as per your original post.

Have you run the
Library Maintenance->Check Library function as suggested above by
Dopedangel. It runs in two phases, the first phase checks the database integrity (should be OK since you just rebuilt it via the Restore database), the second optional phase finds mismatches between the database and the library author/book folders - see attachment for sample output. The Help text on the right explains each condition and the choices you have.
Aside : If this happened to me then I would consider 'severing' the Dropbox link and re-establishing it when I had a pristine clean local library. I can't give you any precise advice on that because I don't use Dropbox.
