Next brilliant idea was that I created a Calibre Library 2. I was able to save the library to this, however each folder within this new library is empty.

I've now discovered that the original Calibre Library folder is still connected somehow. Any of the files I've updated by adding and then deleting original, these have been added to the old Calibre Library folder.

When I 'save to disk' to my Calibre backup, this also has empty folders so I'm unable to save a copy of my library at all.

Can someone help me to save my library please?
Do you have a library with your books in it, even if they are in a mess?

I'm using Windows 10.
Same as me - do you have an empty external disk drive ?
