I would suggest the following steps:
- Copy your old Calibre library folder to a new folder. This should include both your ebook files and the metadata.db file
- Start Calibre, and under Preferences give it the new location for the Calibre library.

That should be it - you should be up and running with the Calibre library in the new location. When you are happy you can delete the old Calibre library folder to release the space.

The option for Checking Database integrity will not help you in this case. It's prime use is to check for files defined in the Calibre database that are no longer on disk, and then updating the database to say the files no longer exist. It does NOT handle the case where there are files on disk not defined in the database.
