@CvR - try creating a new library, then use the Copy to library (delete after copy) to move all the books in the book list to it (make sure you copy any custom columns)

Backup the new library.

The old library will only have the extra titles and extra authors, which you should be able to add to the new library with the Add Books one book per directory/subdirectory option.

Added : the only way I know of that will create extra authors, books and formats, is to add or edit the names of folders and files in the library by means other than calibre, or to add folder and files by means other than calibre.

I run Check library weekly, on the odd occasion I get an error it's always because of something I did or didn't do.
