Thanks for any help you can give but unfortunately I've already been messing around trying to correct the situation and probably making it worse.

That confirms to me that your Library name WAS 'desktop'
at some point (Calibre will not allow a library to be created in a non-empty folder, which make this a puzzle)
Do you see
metadata.db anywhere?
(this is good)
If you still have a bunch, you can still see what happens:
Click on the Library Icon:
You should see some names in the middle (The bottom is Library Maintenance, which WILL be used later):
Do you see
Desktop? Choose it. Do you see a list of books?
select books: right-click: Copy to Library: <your current Library name> Delete after copy.
Expect error messages (those should mostly be the ones you messed with). What is left in the list are the ones that: a)could not be found (gone/lost) b)the name got messed with
Now switch back to your main library.
Do you have many author folders STILL on the desktop?
(respond and we will try another trick)
