I can't see the top of your folder list from the image you posted so I
can't tell if the parent folder to those shown is there or not. If not,
try this - right click on any of your folders and select "Show Parent
Folder". Now you should be able to collapse all of those shown into the
parent.

After reading various comments about Lightroom 4 I'd pretty much given
up on the idea of upgrading (I'm on 3.4 now). But I just remembered
one infuriating characteristic of 3.x and earlier which, if fixed,
would get me to upgrade in a heartbeat....
When in the Library view Lightroom's left-hand panel has various ways
of browsing through your files. I most often do so through the
directory structure, which I have settled on after years of
refinement, throught the "Folders" section. (I'd love it if they
didn't insist on using the detestable euphemism of "Folders" for
directories, but I know better than to expect that to change).
Anyway, Lightroom always shows me the (incredibly long) list of every
directory (with photos) on a particular drive, which requires more and
more scrolling every time I add photos. And it won't collapse all the
subdirectories in directory to save scrolling (like most other
applications, including Adobe Bridge, do). If they've fixed this in
Lightroom 4 I'll buy it tomorrow.
Or, alternately, if there's a way to do it in my version and I've
simply missed it (not that such a thing could ever happen with adobe's
<ahem> superb documentation)... well, that would be good news, too.
And considerably less expensive :-)
