First I apologise if this has been asked before, I could not find what I was looking for but if it has already been addressed then a link to the relevant posting would be gratefully accepted.
I am out of disk space so been trying to remove non essential files, folders, etc. I am also not ruthless enough to delete bad/average images but that is coming. In this process of removals I backed up and deleted on old Downloads folder that had not been accessed for 3 or more years.
In windows 10 explorer I can see all the images downloaded for the ipad as a result of sync - in the folders structure LR has created but in LR I get this - the same number of images but LR says there are no photos in selected folder. What am I doing wrong?

Also when I look in the long name folder, many of the CRM files (if not most) are size 0bytes.

The number of files in my "All Synced Photographs" folder is 2 different as that on LR on ipad with ipad continually showing as Uploading Pending 59% and Classic showing 1 file in the "All sync Errors" folder.





Many thanks in advance

In the folder panel header, there is a (+) on the right. Click that plus to expose the context menu. Make sure the check is added to the last item: "Show Photos in Subfolders" In your screen shot, you have selected the parent folder and sub folders show image counts.
 
Many thanks - have checked that and that option is ticked. I have also clicked on a date within the LR folder structure - still no photos

That's odd. Almost like the catalog's corrupted. Do you have a recent catalog backup you can check?
