4. Calibre Library seems full size on disk - they're apparently still around. (5226 folders, 92.5gb, 17k books)
5. My backups are directory-level copies of the Calibre application which can replace the data (etc.), but not reset the calibre pgm. (VL shows only 389 books - would be easier to replace everything.)

The red minus is next to the VL button... BUT
only 2 values (### books, 1 Selected) says you are NOT looking at a VL
BACKUP before doing this, just in case
Try (on Library Icon) Library Maintenance :restore Database (will take a bit of time)
The VL Structures are part of the DB (each Library can have a different set of VL) The metadata_db_prefs_backup file in the
library folder allows RESTORATION of
DB structure. medatadata.opf in each TITLE folder populates the DB (along with the cover.jpeg)
