You should find the files in the "Missing" folder - delete them from
here and empty the Wastebasket.

When you import the renamed folder all should be well. (I'd expected
that once I'd put the unwanted records in the wastebasket, that
reimporting would obliterate the faulty records, but what happened was
that the unwanted records were restored as they were - they pointed to
the (incorrectly entered) directory.
