If you right-click on the "Remove Books" icon and select "Restore Recently Deleted", you will see a list of books that you can recover.

Not helpful if I am looking at an old library that has long since been deleted, but the trash folder is still there
Found a Solution: Created a New library from the old one that has the deleted books (it's actually an entire library's worth of books - but it seems that I need the books now) when I got to the library, obviously the deleted books are no longer able to be restored - the trash has been emptied. Closed Calibre. Opened explorer, and restored the library from backup shadow copy. Opened Calibre and the trash has been restored, and I restored the books.

Why did you delete the library?

When you delete a library its path is removed from the list of 'known' libraries in calibre's configuration data… but it is NOT physically deleted from your computer.
