theducks - delete or move book, and then look at the Original Location of the book folder in the Recycle bin, if you restore the book folder that's where it will go - see attachment for a snap of my rubbish bin.
E:\Calibre Libraries is where my calibre libraries are,
Stage is the library where I knock the metadata into shape and do any preliminary conversions - eg PDF to something more malleable. Those
E:\Calibre Libraries\Stage deleted 3lpavu etc folders came about as a result of moving a number of books from my
Stage library to my
Main library.
AFAIK whatever calibre puts into %CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR% get permanently deleted - not sent to the rubbish bin.
Owncloud is FOSS software that's most often installed on Linux or Windows 2008 servers by people/enterprises who want cloud like services (a'la Dropbox and SkyDrive) on private networks.

PS : IIRC the reason those temporary folders are created in the library location came about from calibre having deal with a dozen or more different file systems across several different operating systems and several versions of each. Ordinarily they wouldn't be necessary, but there was a 'corner case' on one combination, I think fixing that created another corner case elsewhere. So Kovid had to devise a 'work on all combinations' solution, and thus came about the very short lived temporary folders in the library parent folders.
