I would have expected that to work, but if it didn't, what you can try is creating a new library and use Calibre to move your current one into it. It will copy everything it knows about into the new library, and what's left in the old one is stuff Calibre lost track of. You can re-import those by pointing Add Books (option Add Book from folders and subfolders -> Assume all e-book files in a single folder are multiple formats of the same book -> Yes) at the root directory of your old library.
And keep Calibre away from Dropbox et al in the future. That FAQ warning isn't there just for fun and giggles, as you found out.
