[digiKam-users] Refresh not working

[Stuart T Rogers]

I tried cleaning up just the one album which contained the issue but it 
has not resolved the issue. I now see a slightly different message

digikam.database: Folder does not exist or is not readable: 
"/home/stuart/Work/Graphics11"

so it looks like it thinking there may be an album called Graphics11 but 
none exists and browsing the sqlite database I can find no reference to 
Graphics11.

Maybe I need to clean up everything?
