I excluded the calibre folder from the antivirus scan, the folder is in the normal drive of the pc, isn't in any sync program (i use FreeFileSync to mirror it in another folder that is connected with my clouds, but the program works only when is open, and only when i give the command).

I still get the error and calibre still deletes the files, so i just copied the old books in another library and copied them back in my main library, and now everything works as usual.

I guess my old books metadata where somewhat corrupted and i didn't notice before cause i didn't try to change the metadata before.

Still curious that instead of just getting the error message, Calibre decided to delete the books, like Calibre REALLY didn't like them lol
