I have been using filter folders for yours, but today it suddenly stopped working. Tried to bactrack on other LR version but no luck. Anyone has a fix?

Correct answer johnrellis

Try deleting the "<catalog> Helper.lrdata" folder -- it caches information about LR folders and infrequently gets corrupted:

1. Do Catalog Settings > General > Show to open File Explorer on your catalog folder.

2. Exit LR.

3. In the catalog folder, delete the subfolder "<catalog> Helper.lrdata".

4. Restart LR. It will rebuild "<catalog> Helper.lrdata".

Let us know if that fixes the issue.

Please be kind enough to tell us the version NUMBER of your Lightroom Classic. We need the version NUMBER and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date".
