Does Calibre have a functionality to single out book files that are still in the library, but not referenced by any book entry?
This should never happen (normally). If there was a file left over, it means someone used the OS (or cloud sync) to rename it. Never have SYNC enabled while using Calibre. They will fight.

Library Maintenance: check Library will check the Database against what is there and list discrepancies. Those need to be fixed manually
