I said Yes and then got the following message

"Restoring database failed ... Traceback (most recent call last): ... Fail "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line129, in run Exception: Something bad happened"

So I went back and tried again but clicked No this time and got a fully functioning calibre, but with no books.

Have I lost then forever I know they exist in the cloud somewhere! What to do next?? apart from panic???
Here is your problem:
The library database at C:\Users\John's\Onedrive\Documents\Calbre Library

DO NOT put your library on onedrive.

You need to search your onedrive for your books, I always disable onedrive.
