Question

Double folders pointing to the same folder on my disk

After several years of use, a problem has arisen: The same folder is repeated twice without the naming system having been changed. In addition, both folders show that the content is only 1 image while there are actually 40 images in the folder. Both folders point to the same location on my Windows PC. When I tried to remove the duplicate, both folders disappeared. When re-importing, the exact same thing happened again. This does not apply to any of my other folders. If I click on the + sign next to Folders and select "Path From Volume", the order changes, but both folders are present. How do I get rid of this double folder and get the correct number of images in the folder? When Synchronize Folder, there are no images to import - everything is present. I have tried to document the problem in the attached document.

I don't know when this happened and how.

Cheers, Finn

I believe this is the solution

As you have noticed, importing or synchronizing folders is not a solution here.

I am sorry - this is not the solution. The folder name follows exactly the name system that I have on all my folders. And when I removed the folder in LR, both folders disappeared. When I imported the folder on new, I got the double folders in LR once more.

The folder names may not have the capitalization issue, but perhaps the parent folder has this issue.
