[digiKam-users] Refresh not working

[Stuart T Rogers]

I have now started digikam again with a completely new set of databases 
and believe it or not the error still exists.

digikam.database: Folder does not exist or is not readable: 
"/home/stuart/Work/Graphics11/Pentax-K-70/2019/02"

now I have no idea how to resolve this error. How can digikam come up 
with this folder name which does not exists anywhere in my hard drive?
The correct part of the path contains Graphics1 which exists and the 
contents display just fine.
