What is the path to your library folder?

By default Windows auto-syncs the Desktop, Documents and Pictures to Onedrive. I think that started within the past ten years. It's best to keep calibre library folders well clear of those locations - e.g my libraries have paths such as:
Code:
D:\Calibre\Libraries\Books 
C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\CalibreLibrary.

Hello everyone!

My libraries are on various disks and the basic ones are on C:/ in a dedicated directory.

I had fun (NOT) removing from yhe library folders with only the opf file in it....I have removed about 6 ot 7000 (!!!!), plus some real duplicates at folder level (but with different nr).
After that I removed the metadata.db, and restored the database.
The result seems fine and works well (46000 books) but for some reason, some books of some series (not all of them mind you!) are still not displayed by Calibre, even as their are present in the library in a proper way. Out of 7, I have 3 shown on this example!
I removed the db again and restored it again: same issue with the same books...

I have tried to reintegrate one of the no-shows (and removed the original folder, which was not shown anyway) , and after restoration of db, again not shown, with the three others still shown...

Black Magic!
