Could I just delete that folder without upsetting Calibre?
NEVER use the OS to modify the Library. Bad thing happen to the integrity of the database.

Unknown is the Author? Simply search (or use the Tag Browser) for authors:unknown and formats:mbp
Select all: rightclick:delete :selected Formats:mbp from the list

Now we will cleanup those that are now 'empty books'
search authors:unknown and formats:false
those have no other formats and can be deleted (using Calibre )
