Could Not Find Folder

[natashiam1618395]

I was in the middle of editing my pictures and then all of my pictures in that collection showed up blurry and with an error message "Could not find folder" I have looked up youtube videos and in the forums to try to figure out why its saying that. Do I have to start all the way over with my editing?

thank you for your help!

Does it perhaps say something like "Can not find photo"? Can you quote the exact word-for-word message?

If it is saying that it can't find the photo, is it possible that the photo was stored on a disk drive that either went to sleep or was (accidentally) disconnected?

What happens if you re-start the computer? Does the problem go away?

Can you show us a screen capture?

The exact words are: " The folder could not be found."

It is stored on my computer. I have been working on these pictures for the past 3 days. I did try restarting my computer and its still the same issue.

I must admit I have never seen this exact error message before.

Nevertheless, you are showing collections on the left; can you switch to the Folder panel and find the exact folder that this photo is stored into? Is there a question mark icon on that folder? (An example can be seen in Figures 3 and 4 of this document: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders)
