To add to @theducks, calibre's check library tells you about "missing" and "extra" formats (and other things). "Missing" formats are ones that calibre thinks should be there but aren't. "Extra" formats are ones that exist that calibre doesn't know about. There is a "Copy to clipboard" button in that dialog.

IMO the most important thing to do is determine why you have missing formats. The usual suspect is putting your calibre library on a network/autosynced file system.
