I haven't my books open tho, nothing is using them.
I just open the edit metadata window as usual, download metadata, but when i click i get that error and calibre delete all the files (multiple format of the book plus metadata . opf) leaving only the cover in the folder.
It still shows in my library but if i try to delete it i get a message saying there's a permission error and calibre can't access to the files (probably because the files aren't there anymore)
I have found the deleted books in the trash folder in calibre folder.
