For some reason I received the error "Database Disk Image Malformed" this afternoon. I see that I have a number of backup files but I can find no way of restoring any of them. Will this process fix the problem? Will someone please explain how to do this?

Or, if this won't help, how do I tell the Kobo that I want to empty its library and allow me to send the books to it again?
I assume that means you are using calibre and the utilities plugin to backup the database. If so, the restore of the database is manual. The steps are as DNSB said: find the latest backup, copy it to the ".kobo" directory on the device, rename to "KoboReader.sqlite", disconnect and restart the device. Assuming the backup is fairly recent, that will work well.
