You appear to have not read the FAQ and dug yourself into a whole lot of work .

1)Synch OFF (at least the Library folder) while using Calibre
2)Files (books) may not be added to/removed from a Library folder EXCEPT by using Calibre (GUI or CLI). Applies to Calibre Known Items

One way to recover:
Create a New Empty Library (Local Drives only) withe the same structure (Create/Switch has options)
Select All books in existing Library: RIGHT CLICK: Copy to Library:<new> Delete after copy.

What is LEFT OVER in your old Library FOLDER, is what Calibre could/did not know about. Those are now your job to deal with and possibly add (using a normal Calibre Add Books method)
