It does also say:

previous location: c:\users\xxxxx\documents\calibre library

Should it be showing this? Could this be why when I choose the location in Documents it's saying the folder is not empty?

Should I be able to create the calibre library folder in the same location, or could this be confusing Calibre?
I would recommend creating your calibre libraries outside the Documents folder. My personal choice is c:\users\xxxxxxx\calibre with the libraries inside the calibre folder. Your first calibre library would show as "c:\users\xxxxxxx\calibre\calibre library" for example.

Using the Documents folder can run into issues when OneDrive, etc. are installed since most of the cloud solutions add Documents automatically.
