Synchronising a folder in LrC adds folders from a different drive

Let me outline my system
Drive C: is my system and programmes

Drive 😧 has a number of folders used for my documents and miscellaneous stuff including my OneDrive files and downloads and LrC catalogue
Drive E: has a folder called Images01 which has a number of sub folders with sub folders of their own,  which contain all my images prior to 2023
Drive F: has a folder called Images02 which has a number of sub folders, with sub-folders of their own containing all my images from 2023 onwards

So my LrC catalogue looks something like this

Folders
     Filter Folders
          Images01 (E:)
               Images01
                     2008
                     2009
                     2010
                     ….
                    2022
          Images02 (F:)
               Images02
                   2023
                   2024

If I right click on the Images02 folder on Drive F: and select ‘Synchronize Folder’ LrC not only Synchronizes the Images of Drive F: but it also adds Drive 😧 and sub-folders containing images, so the catalogue now looks like this:

Folders
     Filter Folders
          LocalData (D:)
                Downloads
                 Slides
                 EGPCC
          Images01 (E:)
               Images01
                     2008
                     2009
                     2010
                     ….
                    2022
          Images02 (F:)
               Images02
                   2023
                   2024

And I have to go back and remove all the folders from Drive 😧 from the catalogue. The files that are getting added aren’t even on the same physical drive as the files I was synchronizing.

This happens every time I sync - why? and importantly how can I stop this. 

 
(I have tried optomising the catalogue with no effect)

BTW LrC v 14.0.1
on Windows 11 Pro
