Most books appear to be in the recycle bin, but some are in an unknown location D:\?\ What does that mean?

For those with "a green dot" can the epub simply be "recovered" by right-click and then magically all is well? :-)

@theducks: I have tried your suggestion. When I drag an epub from the explorer window to calibre (either book detail panel on the right-hand side in the main calibre window or the book-format box at the top-right in edit metadata, a +copy appears but nothing actually happens?
D: is normally a removable (CD/DVD) drive for most off the shelf PC's
(a bunch of us have 2 or more internal HD, So I also have a D: )
Did you try and restore or something from a CD/DVD? Or did you fix a Missing CD drive? This might be a letter shift that can happen under certain conditions.

Thumb rule for (default assignment) letters: Floppies (A, B), Internal HD start at C:, Next comes other Internal drives (CD, DVD, Zip ), Next comes removable drives (SD cards), External detachable (USB/FW) drives <<A device that appears as a drive, might fall here.
