Help - Lost all books in Calibre Library

I downloaded version 5.12 and restarted the PC.
Calibre opens, but no books show. The dropdown says my files are located in C:\Users\marty\OneDrive\Desktop\E Books Calibre,
and wants to know if I want to use that path.
I deleted the program and reinstalled.
Same problem.
How do I find my lost books ?

Don't keep your library in OneDrive. It will corrupt your library.

It's strongly advised to avoid placing calibre libraries on cloud services (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox). Yes, some people have had success but many others have encountered issues.

An approach I once used was to perform a one-way-sync from my PC to cloud services using FreeFileSync purely as a backup.
