I have several grey frames in my Lightroom catalog and I cannot delte them.  The error message is as follows

 

An internal error has occured:?:0: attempt to index field 'rootFile' (a nil value)

 

I run a PC with the latest Windows software.  I have updated to the latest Lightroom version and have made changes to color management as seen in a previous post.

 

Nothing seems to work.

This is catalog corruption. The easiest solution is replacing your catalog by a backup copy from before it happened.
