I might have to export all my books, completely expunge Calibre from my system, reinstall from scratch, add the plugin, and hope that fixes it.
Unless anyone has a better idea?

Uninstall Calibre 4.23, reinstall the current version, and look for an updated version of the plugin. Also, check the MR Cailbre Forum.
Calibre installs books in the defined Library location. Here, that's E:\Calibre Library, where E:\ is a SATA HD essentially devoted to Calibre. Books get installed in sub-directories created for them, based on Author name. Additional books by the same author will be in sub-directories under the main one for the author.
No need to export. Removing Calibre itself does not alter the existing library. Reinstall a current Calibre, and specify the existing Library as what it should use. Metadata about individual books is stored with the books, and will be imported too. Calibre's master eBook index and metadata are in the top level of the Calibre Library
I don't
get books with DRM I must remove, and haven't seen the DeDRM plugin stop working, but I'd be surprised if a version that does work in Calibre 5 doesn't exist.
