@Naloomi Disable online backup synching, copy what you have to local storage - eg. elsewhere on your disk, another computer, server, usb stick etc

What online backup service are you using ?

If its Google Drive then it might have done the 'tampering', see WARNING - Google Drive Incompatible with Calibre!

Otherwise, use Library Maintenance->Restore database - it will build a fresh metadata.db from the metadata.opf files in the book folders

Then run Library Maintenance->Check Library and resolve any anomalies in the second phase, hopefully there wont be any

When you're happy with the rebuild you could restart the online synch - although if it were me I'd trash what I had on the online service and start over.

Once you satisfied that all is OK, including your online backup & restore processes you can trash the local backup.
