I am 99.9% certain that there is no metadata.db file on my PC as I have searched multiple times, incl hidden files, etc. Since I moved the library to Amazon Cloud yesterday, there is a single file remaining in my Calibre Library folder ("CalibreGoogleDriveFixer.log").

I think I previously should have mentioned exactly how I used Amazon Cloud: I use NetDrive2 to map my Amazon Could storage as a E:\ drive on my PC, so yesterday I simply moved the library from the local folder to a newly created folder I created on Amazon.

I just now enamed my "Kindle Library" folder on Amazon to "Kindle Library2" and then upon starting Calibre received a "Corrupted database" error message and it would not open (naively thinking that renaming the amazon folder back to the original name would permit Calibre to open normally, but instead the program is undertaking what looks to be a multiple-hour database restoration).

In any event, I think I will probably move the library back to my pc and set it up as a content server for remote connection.

Thanks again for your help/time.
