i've tried and can reproduce. The folder in Settings>Catalog exists? you don't use 'base folder'?

I do use a base folder and it certainly exists. In fact, all my photos are in a huge tree below that base folder and the listbox in Settings>Catalog which lists the directories is filled with all those subdirectories. When I check "Remove data for orphaned directories" and do it, this whole box is afterwards completely empty; all thumbnails are gone as well.
