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
