Vanishing auto add books during import, books left behind in auto add folder

Running latest calibre on win 10.

When auto adding books, i find alot of empty folder duplicates. I search for duplicates and find the original book and duplicate empty folder. Out of 8000 books added 3500 were empty folder duplicates...which leads me to my next issue. Out of those 8000 imports, once imported there were 3500 duplicate folder. Once i removed those duplicate my library shrank to 4500......what happened to my books/files then? I had 8000 before, some how 3500 got duplicated, 1000 did just fine, and 3500 just disappeared.

When i go back to the source folder, there are 800 or remaining books that weren't auto added.
The numbers don't add up and im left wondering where my files went.
And why did i have 800 files left that werent imported? They were under 255 char file names, source folder worked fine adding the other books....why not these lol.

I can manually add the books via add books>from a directory and it will import some of them but it still leaves some behind...then theres no way to tell whats already been imported.

Im hoping i didnt lose data through this process. Ive really liked calibre and the community. Hoping to get some help.

Sending from my phone, sorry for the hasty sloppy posting. The numbers were approximations.
