I have a weird issue, which I never experienced before.
When I try to delete a book from Calibre 3.26.1 it hangs the application. When I forcefully close it it has actually removed the entry from the DB but not from the file system.

OS: Windows 2016
Library Path: \\hyperv\data\ebooks

Obviously the user I'm running has full controll on the path.

When I monitor the process wit ProcMon I see really weird behavior.

First it is running through the files that I want to have deleted and it looks okay.

Then I get a whole lot of writing to the database

After that is gets weird and that seems to lock up the program

I I run the same version on the same library but locally on the host that has the library everything works however when I look in the Recycle bin I see those weird directories in the properties from the deleted book.

If I try to restore it it goes to the wrong location, it is not going back to D:\Data\eBooks\<Author>\<book> but to that weird location.

The setup I have not gave me any issues.
