If the receiving library was in Dropbox and you did not pause syncing it is very possible that one or more books may not have made it to their destination. If you are going to do any bulk operations with a library in Dropbox (or other cloud) then pause syncing before doing anything.

Backups are always an excellent idea.

Calibre does not delete any files at anytime unless directed by the user. You are experiencing OS level issues or cloud sync software issues.

Good luck with your work around.
