I have a number of books in my library that Calibre metadata says exist as an epub. When I try to read the book I get a "book has no available formats" type error.

Looking in the folder the book is supposed to be in the file is missing.

Obviously something I've done has deleted a small number of file from the library without removing the metadata, I do not think this is an issue with Calibre but rather a "problem that exists between the chair and keyboard".

How can I scan the whole library and find out what books/files are missing from the folder structure?

Thanks
Glen
