The books are all still on my computer.

The Calibre library is not in Documents. It's on a partition on a hard drive. I didn't/don't use Google Drive or any cloud sync. The books were all there but now they're not and I'm not sure why.

That doesn't make sense to me. If they are there, are they in a library folder structure e.g:

Code:
../Books/Charles Dickens/Great Expectations (825)/cover.jpg
../Books/Charles Dickens/Great Expectations (825)/Great Expectations - Charles Dickens.epub
../Books/Charles Dickens/Great Expectations (825)/metadata.opf
And is there a file named metadata.db in the library folder, e.g:

Code:
../Books/metadata.opf
