Right-click on the "Remove Books" icon, and select "Restore recently deleted" and set "Permantly Delete after" to zero.
All those duplicate folders, were they all added into Calibre on the same day? or maybe a small range of dates? (In the edit metadata screen check "Date:")
If they were you could do a search like date:=2024-02-07 for 7 Feb 2024, then simply delete all the listed items.
