Mobile Operating System: iOS 11.2.1
Desktop Operating System: MacOS 10.13.2
Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): LR Classic CC 7.1
Until a few weeks ago, I was successfully syncing my iPhone (called "iPhone 6S - R") and my wife's iPhone (called "iPhone 6 - S") to LRCC Classic desktop. Everything was working as expected.
Then my wife got a new iPhone 8, which was set up by doing a backup from her iPhone 6 to iCloud and then the iPhone 8 was restored from that backup. The next time I opened LR Classic on my desktop, I saw that it had created a new "Imported Photos" folder for the iPhone 8 and had synced ALL photos on that device, even those that had been previously synced from the iPhone 6. However, the iPhone 6 "Imported Photos" folder remained.
A few days later, LR CC Classic created a second instance of the "Imported Photos" folder for the iPhone 6S - R, and all photos synced from that device after that date appear in the new folder. (It was around that time that I upgraded the iPhone 6S to iOS 11.2.1 from 11.2, though I can't be sure that the new folder appeared exactly at the same time.)
If I look at my iDevices AND at LRCC Web, they only show two folders, each of which was created and named on their respective iPhones.
If I select the "Imported Photos" folder for the two instances of "iPhone 6S - R" and choose "Show in Finder," I'm taken to (different) folders, as I would expect. The contents of the two folders are not what I expected, however. There are 128 images in one folder and 40 images in the other folder. The 128 is close to 126, but 40 is nowhere near 6! Furthermore, the count in the single "from iPhone 6s" album in LRCC Mobile (iOS) is 135, while in LRCC Desktop the two "iPhone 6S - R" folders together show 133 images (I'm not counting the "info.lua" file).
It seems that both with respect to the folders getting synced and to the image count, there are oddities: multiple folders and discrepant item counts.
Any suggestions about how to clean up this situation?
