Yes, there is. Create a new empty library and copy all the books in the old library to it via the GUI (NOT via the File Explorer or directly from the folder!): select all -> right-click -> copy to library (delete after copy). The book list in the old library should now be empty. Everything that remains in the library folder was not in the database and must be re-added via the Add Books button.

I do not understand the retoration of the database...when there are no database,Calibre mooks for books and associated metadat...so why take some and ignore others?
Because obviously there is something wrong with those books and metadata.
