If you deleted your library via your file manager then you will need to Remove it from calibre. And then you'll need to create a new library in calibre.

IMO it's only then you should attempt to Connect your device or add books. I don't think calibre 'likes' not having a database on which to operate.

The Folder device is the only on I know that does not auto detect and mount. It has caused issues in times past, if deleted without the 'eject' operation haveing been performed prior to exiting Calibre.

Normal devices auto-detect and mount (unless excluded in preferences).

If calibre can't find a Library, it pops a notice allowing you to specify its new location so it can attach or it creates a NEW default on
