Calibre renamed my files, kept both, and shows none; then the files disappear

Using Calibre 3.19 Windows 64.

I just realized that I have about 700 tiles in my library that at some point got renamed. Both files, the old one and the rename one, are in each book's folder on the computer now but neither shows in Edit Metadata.

For instance for the book The Age of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind, and Brain, From Vienna 1900 to the Present:

I go to the folder and I have:

The Age of Insight_ The Quest t - Eric R. Kandel.epub (2016 date)
The Age of Insight_ The Quest to Underst - Eric R. Kandel.epub (2014 date)

But neither one shows up in Calibre. When I say it does not show, there is no size indicated in the standard view and if I go to Edit Metadata, neither file shows on the top right box.

Not only that, a minute after I open Edit Metadata, both of those files disappear from the Windows folder I was looking at them in!

Any ideas about what happened and how to fix it? There are too many books to fix by hand.

Thanks!
