Thumbs down Meta data but no ebook

Hi all,

I'm new here and using Calibre for a few months now but far from being an expert.

I'm facing an issue with my base (many thousand books) that come from many imports.

For a lot of "books" listed in the tree view (by author for example) I've metadata but no linked ebook!

When I use my favorite file explorer, what I got often is a folder for the book's name that contain:
- a cover file (let say a jpg)
- a metadata file (an.opf file)
but no ebook file


My question is: is there an automatic way (tool in calibre or plugin) to remove these folders that contain no real ebook and then to remove these "books" from my base.

Feel free to move my thread into another section if I'm wrong to post here. If the question has already been answered, please give me the link and close this thread

thank you
