Library Not Loading
I just updated to 3.2.1 and it's not showing any books (I have over 9500...)

When I click 'Calibre Library' it tells me that my library is located where it's always been, but zero books load. Any help would be awesome, thanks!

Update: I ran the library check and ever book has an entry under Extra Titles. There's a button for 'Mark all for fix' but it doesn't mark anything... I could click 10,000 text boxes...

Should I delete the database and just re-add the books?

NO (at least until all else fails )

Under the (same) Library icon: Maintenance: RESTORE database
That reads the metadata.opf and the cover stored with each title

Depending on how big your library, it may take time (but nowhere as long as what you proposed ) and it will be back as original

It sounds as if your metadata.db file was corrupted. This sometimes happens when running your library from a sync or cloud folder such as Dropbox or Onedrive. Simply restoring a recent copy will often completely fix this issue.

Great
I would try and discover what did 'the damaging deed'. The good Doctor, outlined common causes.
The prescription: Don't do that if it hurts
