@AlexBell - does that folder have a metadata.db file in it, you'd probably see after all the author folders?

If it does:-
  1. click the Library icon and select Create/switch library...
  2. click the folder icon at the right hand end of New Location field
  3. browse to and select that My eBooks/Calibre folder
  4. ensure the Use the previously existing library at the new location is set
  5. press OK
I moved the thread as you requested.
