Agreed 110%.

And then when I can't find the book in the Library I would just go to my Books folder and re-add them to Calibre.
  • Is the library synced to cloud storage - e.g. dropbox, google drive etc?
  • What OS are you using (Windows, OSX or Linux) and what file system is the library on?
  • Is the library on the system drive ?
Maybe the folders/files weren't deleted, but moved - have you tried searching for the lost files. On windows I would run Recuva (3rd party util) to look for any clues.

It's hard to believe some other program would be stealing/deleting books and covers randomly - except maybe a dodgy backup file synch process.
