Ghost images in the database

[Milind Joshi]

No response! I am at my wits' end trying to solve this problem. When I 
deleted my collections and added them back, all my searches went for a 
toss. I have dozens of them. I need to go through each search to set it 
up again. Would not attempt deleting the collections ever again!

As mentioned earlier, I had set up a search to look for Pentax images 
with no tags. When I run this search, there are some ghost image 
thumbnails which I am unable to delete from the search results.

I have uploaded a screenshot at
