Bug ID: 426218
Summary: Pictures from old collection still in database after
removing it
Product: digikam
Version: 7.1.0
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Screenshot showing the issue
SUMMARY
As a test, I added a folder with pictures (/home/user/Images) as a new Local
collection. It scanned the pictures inside and its metadata. When I was done
doing those tests, I went to the settings menu and removed the local
collection.
However, the pictures still appear in my database, and manually cleaning it, or
the automatic cleanup on the startup does not delete them or their metadata
(tags, dates, etc). I cannot see the pictures, not even their thumbnail (see
attachment), but they are still shown as icons
Shouldn't that action be performed immediately? How can I remove them
permanently?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On existing Digikam installation, manually add new Local collection in the
settings menu.
2. Wait for digikam to scan the new files and update the database
3. Delete the Local collection from the settings menu.
4. Restart digikam and wait for the startup cleanup to finish. (or,
alternatively, Perform Database Cleaning on Tools/Maintenance)
OBSERVED RESULT
Placeholders for the old pictures are still shown, and their tags appear on the
tree.
EXPECTED RESULT
Pictures from that collection should have been deleted from the database.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
I tried it both in the stable 7.0.0 x64 appimage and today's nightly flatpak,
both under Ubuntu 20.04LTS with Gnome.
