Hi, last time I used Lightroom, it was working as usual, today I imported some pictures, then I deleted them from SDCARD and emptied the bin (I'm on OSX El Capitan with Lightroom 6.13). Then I accidentally hit import button again and all files I already imported and deleted from SDCARD, Lightroom was trying to import them again, but now with no previews (obvious because photos do not exist anymore). I even tried to show hidden files on SDCARD and nothing found, so what's going on? If I delete the DCIM folder and make a new one, this problem doesn't show up, but as soon as I make one photo, import it, then delete it from SDCARD and empty the pin and try to import from SDCARD again, this happens:

So the problem is that you delete files from the card but your system can still see them?

Try putting the card in the camera and formatting it.

Lightroom can see them. Neither OSX nor a different photo management software can see any pictures on the SD card once I delete them. I already formatted the SD card. I think my LR got sick.
 
There may be something cached... do the deleted photos still show up after a reboot?
 
Oh good. That turn it off and turn it on again often works!
