NO, DON'T DO THAT!

Instead of creating a new library, simply copy the whole old library from box.com to a local drive. Then you can point your reinstalled Calibre, regular or portable, to that local copy, make your changes, and then copy the updated library back to Box.com.

Be very careful that there is no active syncing enabled between Box.com and your local copy of the library. Also, after the edits are complete and you've quit out of calibre, if you enable some sort of syncing be certain that it is only a one way "local to box.com" sync.
