Unhappy Calibre Library appears to be corrupted
Hello everyone,

My Windows 7 computer (running a 250GB SSD) crashed for some reason and after a restart, Calibre throws up this message on opening:

Code:
calibre, version 2.26.0
Corrupted database: The library database at C:\Users\John\Documents\Calibre Library appears to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try and rebuild it automatically? The rebuild may not be completely successful. If you say No, a new empty calibre library will be created.

Traceback (most recent call last):

CorruptError: CorruptError: database disk image is malformed
I saw a couple of different ways but prefer to ask you guys for the most viable option since there's no way back if I mess it up further.

Many thanks for your time in advance.
