I doubt that 'exact' is true - a calibre library has author and book folders and each book folder typically has a format file (epub. cbz, docx etc), a cover.jpg and a metadata.opf file plus there's the database metadata.db at the top of the library tree. Hard to imagine your flat folder of books had the same cover.jpgs, metadata.opf files etc.
How did you remove files from calibre - with calibre itself or Windows

Well, "exact" might be a bit casual but they are close. Both 50+ gb. And I cheked my original folder as it was structured different from the calibre library.
I didn't take that long, an hour maybe. Give or take a couple minutes. I have my book folder and the library folder on the same drive. Maybe that helped and mabe that's the problem ?
I removed the files from calibre. Marked one, deleted it, checked that it was still there in the original folder. Which it was. Than I deleted more that I don't need in the programm itself. Whatever, I didn't delete all of them in any case. I still have many left in library which still are not available in the other.
Library folder 48.2 gb - my folder 80 mb. That can't be right in any case.
