He doesn't... or better, he shouldn't
If he does that, everything that calibre will be able to open will end up in the library. Changelogs... logs... textfiles.... zipfiles that contain text or HTML; everything.
To OP: If you haven't already organized everyting, I would advise to do a search for your books using the search function of your operating system. Then select the books you want and copy them to a separate folder. Then import from there.

Calibre is to ebooks what Foobar is to music, with one big difference.
Calibre's author is not a jackass, while Foobar's author is. (IMHO.)
The Foobar author is the "It's going to be done like I want it to be done" kind of guy, even refusing help offered (such as program translations). If there was a program as powerful as Foobar, I'd switch to it in a heartbeat.
