Might you have changed an Author Name or Title when a format file was open that will result in a move, if a file was open in another program - eg Sigil IIRC it doesn't lock files - that can result in lost edits, but not lost books.

when you change a book title (which triggers a rename of the book folder) then IIRC calibre creates a folder with the new name, then it creates hardlinks to the files in the new folder, and then it trashes (shift/del) the old folder. But it then again it might actually be NTFS that does all that...

Do you have any gadgets/widgets/belles [sic] or whistles that might interfere with that process - I can't imagine what, but...
