Exclamation Calibre has deleted the whole library

Greetings,

As "Issues" section at GitHub is disabled, this seems to be the best place to post this.

Preface:
I have been using Calibre for years on various Linux(es) and currently on Windows 10 system. Today, the application has greeted me with an empty window. Slightly surprised, I have checked the library folder which turned out to be entirely empty, both books and DB are gone. No error message was shown.

Interlude
I see some logs here, but content isn't alarming:
Code:
..\AppData\Local\calibre-ebook.com\calibre\QtWebEngine\viewer-lookup\Platform Notifications\
Next,
Code:
..\AppData\Local\calibre-cache\
Code:
\AppData\Roaming\calibre\
and
Code:
\AppData\Roaming\calibre\
all look intact.

While the
Code:
\AppData\Local\Calibre_library\
is empty.

Foreword
It was a fun ride and I am grateful to the Kovid G. and contributors for their work.
Hope my humble donations have helped at least a tiny bit.

I have archived the following folders in case developer(s) is/are reading this forum and interested in some files:
Code:
Calibre_library
calibre-cache
calibre-ebook.com
calibre-parallel
