I hope I am explaining it right.
I assume you refer to the metadata.opf file

You should not change, delete or rename ANY files in the library, author and book folders directly - look but don't touch.

The metadata.opf files exist for one purpose only, to restore/rebuild the main database should that ever be needed - I've been using calibre for almost three years, I have never needed to rebuild a database.

Delete the opf file and the .txt file, then make some trivial change to the book metadata - e.g. change the rating, add a tag... and save the metadata. That will create a new metadata.opf file

Now what are you actually trying to do?
