If you restore from your backup, you can take note of what you do and if you lose books again, you'll know what you did.

If the Check Library process is reporting no errors then, as someone already posted, that means the epub files were deleted from with calibre.

Have a look in the Recycle Bin for items such as this



We recently discovered a 'feature' in Bulk Metadata Edit that made it relatively easy to inadvertently remove format files en-masse. Kovid fixed it by removing the option from Bulk MDE. The same functionality is available in the Remove Books function in a much safer way.

I'm wondering if you have at some stage fallen down that rabbit hole.

Do you have any backups?

I hope so. I'm about to go on a business trip in a few hours and don't want to start a detailed project right now, but I will start working on this after I get back, next weekend. And track everything!

I do, thankfully. See my reply to JSWolf on when I plan to restore from them.

I have nothing in my Recycle bin...

Rabbit hole makes as much sense as any other explanation.

Before you do anything else, have you checked your backups? Depending on how often, when the last time was and how many copies, you might be backing up the bad library.

Which reminds me...

That would be horrible!

I also have a backup of the entire computer, and the book files are actually in a separate folder from the library. I'm now thinking I should just restore from there instead. Just to be safe.

Your words are confusing me.

These books: They are the Originals that you (smartly) archived?

The OP mentioned a Kobo Desktop app, so perhaps it has the originals.

Yes. The original files are kept in their own folder, and moved into the Calibre library folder. That way there are two copies on the laptop, in addition to the copies on the external hard drive that has a full back-up of what it on the laptop.

The Kobo library is separate from the Calibre library. Calibre has the books that I have obtained from other sources than Kobo.
