I have a library with 4,000 books in it. I recently discovered that 117 of those books do not actually exist. If I edit the metadata of one of these books, the box that displays the format for the file is empty. If I attempt to open the book to read it, I get "no available formats" error message. If I go to the physical directory of where the book should be, the directory is there but it is empty.

When I discovered the first missing book, I ran library maintenance to check if the information in the database matches the files. The results did not disclose a single "missing books format" error.

Following tips elsewhere on this forum, I ran a search for "formats:false" in the search bar and the search result displayed 117 books that satisfied this search criteria. So Calibre can confirm the error this way, but not via maintenance.

Is this a bug that anyone else has encountered?
