Calibre Library has disappeared

DonS · 05-20-2023, 12:48 AM

I downloaded a couple of books earlier and went to transfer them to Calibre.
When I opened Calibre to transfer them there was a blank page where previously there had been a library!
Checked the Calibre library in Documents but it only showed the books I had transferred.
Checked the Calibre FAQs and followed both suggestions for retrieving the library to no avail.
When I tried Library Maintenance/Restore Database I ended up with an error message/Failed and the details:

calibre, version 6.17.0
ERROR: Failed: Restoring database failed, click "Show details" to see details

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\db\restore.py", line 151, in run
Exception: Something bad happened

Is there any way of getting my Library back, please?

Is your Documents folder doing a 2 way sync with OneDrive?
