Maybe think this through differently. What sequence of calibre selections, commands would be needed to remove all books but leave behind the .db and the outer folder, but remove all the subfolders, if they are in fact gone
Is the need to confirm a delete turned off in preferences.
With that off,then select all, delete would wipe all books in just two actions. Could it have been user error e.g. set out to delete one book, accidentally delete all... or look at what is either side of "delete" in the right click menus..
