How do I combine Libraries?

I just found my old Calibre library on a backup, having spent most of the day cataloging & trying to reconstruct my current library. I have a lot of duplicate books that have been cataloged and those that haven't been done yet. I also seem to have multiple calibre libraries with different names. Calibre, Calibre Dropbox and Calibre Library. They each seem to have duplicates and original books in them.

If I combine them I would most likely have a lot more. And a lot more duplicates. I'm not worried about that but I would like to combine all my books into one library. I don't have that many that I need more than one... yet. But I don't know how. I'm so confused and really don't know how to handle this.

Also, is there a way, once combined, to delete those duplicates and make sure I only have those books that have already been cataloged with all the metadata I've been including?
