If you did it correctly (see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...86&postcount=2), then there should be a file named Metadata.db. That is what you really see in Calibre

You may eed to just Switch to the New Library (location).
Right click the Library Icon,: Switch/Create... : (You will be using:'Use Existing...') Enter/Navigate to the Library folder: click OK

That should do it (and it will be saved as the current Library)
