Thanks.
Calibre searches uses THE DATABASE
If you have been doing things under the skirts, the database no longer represents reality. (this is the reason why you are advised to stay out)

Run the Library Maintenance tool, both phases.
phase 2 will list where warps in the reality now exists.

Extra books are books that do not (no longer) match the Database
Missing books are what the Database expects, but not where it expects them or just plain missing.
