I'll rephrase for possibly more clarity.

I have two libraries and have the option enabled to auto merge books and ignore duplicate incoming formats.

Today I copied a book (call it #1) from one library to another using the delete after copy command. Because both books had the same title and author, Calibre popped up notification that the records had been merged as per current settings. The original book (#1) is no longer in its original location nor the other library it was merged with AND it cannot be found in the trash.

I keep full disk backups. To be sure the original book (#1) did exist in the first library (wasn't just an empty record). Although they are the same book / author, #1 is a french text & therefore not the same file.

So what happened?
