I thought I'd move my Calibre Library folder to another folder. Have Calibre Library as a sub-folder. Bad move I've discovered.
I found a post where I should have used Switch/Create Library but too late.
Now I can not get my Calibre Library back. All the info is still on my hard drive, in a couple of different places but I can't seem to be able to recreate my library. When I open Calibre there are no books there. When I try to move the library I get an error msg telling me that my library doesn't exist.

Not sure what I can do. Any help please?
And my fault for thinking I could just move the folder to another folder.

Thanks

If you kept EVERYTHING inside the Library folder, piece of cake

right click on the Library Icon: Switch/Create: USE EXISTING: <navagate to the new folder location

That is it
The containing folder name becomes the Library name
