Ghost images in the database

[Milind Joshi]

I had a crash on my laptop when digiKam was running. I guess it messed 
up my database. Rather than spending huge amount of time on cleaning up 
the database, I just deleted my collections and did the database 
maintenance. Afterwords, I added the collections back. On the face of it 
things seem to be working. Unless I find something missing in the 
future! However, I noticed one thing immediately. I had set up a search 
to find Pentax  Raw files which do not have any tags assigned. When I 
run that search something strange happens. I see 268 images with no 
thumbs, no file details, no metadata!! If I try to delete them by moving 
them to trash nothing happens. How do I get rid of these ghost files?

I have uploaded a screenshot of the search results at 
https://efss.qloud.my/index.php/s/fTi4ynoLJpQePzC.

A strange problem indeed. Hopefully, there are no more surprises in the 
future.
