If you can't find your calibre library in a different location (search for metadata.db for example), then with calibre closed, create a new library folder (say, C:\Users\<username>\calibre\<library name> ) and then select it (Library => Switch/create library). If you do find your calibre library in a different location, use the same switch/create tool to select that location as an existing library.

You can also try, with calibre closed, copying the library from the Calibre2 directory to a new location and then try switching to it.
It is not a good idea to create calibre libraries in c:\users\<username>. That's where a lot of permission errors occur.
