Unable to read converted Kobo books?

As the title says, I am unable to read Kobo bought books with removed DRM through the Calibre library. When I try to, it gives me a warning saying that 'This book is locked by DRM'. I have properly removed the DRM, and the books work fine on non-Kobo/Adobe authorised eBook readers, including by just launching the Calibre reader directly and skipping over the library, so is there any way I can fix this?

It is against MR policy to give help with DRM removal. Go where you got that help.
(If Calibre thinks there is DRM, then it did not really go right)

@Klauser5: As @theducks said, we can't really help with debugging DRM removal related issues here. But, have you checked if a never-DRM protected book works when added? There is an occasional issue where this error occurs when it shouldn't. Sometimes restarting the device will fix it. But, it tends to occur when the database on the device has become corrupted and that has to be fixed.
