I am trying to clean up an old catalog.

Plenty of stray folders around the place with question marks.

I started with the first. Right Click on the folder, "Find missing folder". I selected the folder from the new location usnig the "Browse for Files or Folders" prompt, hit ok, and the folder moved to it's correct position.

I then moved on to the second lost folder with a question mark. Right click. "Find missing folder". But now the "Brows for Files or Folders" is stuck on the first folder I selected. It's parent folder does not show any of it's other children so I can "find" all the remaining lost folders.

I shut down and restart lightroom, and it is still blocked on the first folder I selected. All it's siblings have disappeared. F5 refresh doesn't work.

Which means I can't "find" and fix my catalog.

Help much appreciated!
Thank you,
Amanda

The folder hierarchy that lightroom no longer sees is on a hard drive.
Turn hard drive on and off and lightroom still sees only one child (the first folder selected) under a parent when there are about 5'!

Very weird Amanda! Spontaneous fixes are always confusing. Let us know if it happens again.
