You can move it within the toolbar with Preferences/Toolbars, the green arrows on the right. Or even remove it from the main tool bar, I moved it out of harms way into the book list context (right click) menu.

Good choice - by doing what you did, the metadata would have been taken from the metadata.opf files. That's their raison d'être, to recover 'lost' metadata.
