LR Classic 15.0.1 running in MacOS 15.6.1

i have around 14,000 photos listed in the Missing Photos folder.. Only they aren't missing. View in any other way and no ? Shows to indicate missing folder. Open in Develo and they are there. View in folders and they are there. Right click on them while in missing folders, select show in fo,der and they are there. All accessible via collections and smart collections

Soall seems to be as normal except for the listing under Missing Photos.

Any suggestions on how to resolve? Might have somehow got triggered by running LR without my NAS connected. But ensuring NAS is connected and restating LR doesn't clear the list.

That list of missing photos doesn't update by itself. If you use the menu command Find All Missing Photos, that will update the list.

Thanks for getting back to me. I did see that option yesterday. But this morning when I right click in the Missing Photos folder it only iffers me the option to remove this temporary collection. I assume that means it has found everything itself and is safe to do.

Excuse my nervousness but these are all really old photos. The NAS is backed up but will be a pain to restore and re catalogue if so thing goes wrong.
