After a power surge I got a corrupted metadata.db.
Trying the recovery got me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\db\restore.py", line 281, in replace_db
PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'E:\\recovery\\metadata.db' -> 'E:\\recovery\\metadata_pre_restore.db'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\db\restore.py", line 129, in run
File "calibre\db\restore.py", line 285, in replace_db
PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'E:\\recovery\\metadata.db'

OS is Windows 10. No other operations in progress on the library folder. Any ideas?
