OK so:
1) I moved the Calibre Library out of Google Drive, and it is now in the OneDrive folder, but I paused the sync immediately, to make sure I could fix the library via Calibre first, and sync later;
2) I reinstalled Calibre, and told it to look for a previously existing library in the new directory;
3) I did a "restore database", which took ages, but gave me back several errors. I give an example here
calibre, version 2.35.0
WARNING: Success: Restoring the database succeeded with some warnings. Click "Show details" to see the details. The old database was saved as: C:\Users\XXXXX\OneDrive\Documents\Calibre Library\metadata_pre_restore.db
Failed to restore the books in the following folders:

ConstraintError: ConstraintError: UNIQUE constraint failed: books.id
There is a long list of books with this same error.If I look for them, they are on the database and the majority opens just fine. While in other cases it tells me that I have "no available formats" Why?
Also, I now have also 6 books with "no available formats" AND with no "size" in the relevant column (makes them easy to spot), but opening the path shows that I actually have 2 PDFs, but anyway, I guess I can re-add them manually, it is only 6 after all.
What's going on? Should I do something differently? Would it be a good idea to reinstall again but this time delete all the previous metadata file from the Calibre library?
