How much free space on the USB drive?
Where is Calibre installed?

No, your not wrong.
If you rename or remove the metadata.db file, then when you open that 'library' in calibre it should create an fresh metadata.db file and you will have an empty library - the author and book folders would still be there of course.
Are you sure that the path of the library you're looking at in your file manager is the same as the one that calibre is accessing.
Try this: With your file manager add a file of some sort into the library folder, name it something like 'test.file'. Start calibre, select a book and press 'O' (to open the book folder), go up the folder tree until you get to the library folder - is 'test.file' there?
