Books disapeared

I just was updating my Kobo and all of a sudden all my books disappeared out of my library...over 3000 books! the 500 + OI had in my Kobo are all there but they are completely gone from my library. Pretty upset here. Any idea what might have happened?

You changed the View (Library or device)
You have put a Filter or search into use.
You switched Libraries (accidentally)

Don't do any fix attempt below without advice as it might reduce your chances of an easy full recovery

1) use the OS file manger to SEARCH (only) for metadata.db. Do you find it more than 1? Do you see one with Authors named folders in the same folder? (chances just got lots better)

2) If the answer to #1 was more than 1 result: Note the containing folder (the Library) name. Use the Create/switch option of the Library Icon to select an EXISTING Library at that location.

Any other results Tell us what you found and ASK what to do Next

Sorry, this is the very first time I have ever posted anything to a thread like this and I did not realize I was doing anything wrong.
