How can I just have Calibre rescan the Calibre library folder and rebuild the library?

That's what a database restore does, it rebuilds the database from the metadata.opf files in the book folders.
Where is the library, on a local disk or a network drive of some sort - i.e. a server, a NAS, a Cloud provider?
Did the message at the end have any warnings? Example:
Code:
calibre, version 6.7.1
WARNING: Success: Restoring the database succeeded with some warnings click "Show details" to see the details. The old database was saved as: D:\Calibre\Libraries\CopyTest\metadata_pre_restore.db
The following custom columns have conflicting definitions and were not fully restored:
#float
used: Float, float, False, {'number_format': '{0:,.5f}', 'description': '', 'decimals': 5}
other: Float, float, False, {'description': '', 'number_format': None}
other: Float, float, False, {'number_format': '{0:,.5f}', 'description': ''}
