Search for R: in each view.

Will check again when I get home, but I thought I kinda tried that already...

When I add Location to the view, it shows all the drives I am using, but the R:\ drive is not shown. I don't know how/why it's still trying to do something with that folder ?
If I do a search for "Rome" while in this view, I only get results on the M:\ drive, weird

In this new view, there are literally no rules, no exclusions, not even media type; and there was no R: drive. I will try both things suggested and report back later this evening. I *just* created this as a new library in a blank, new location yesterday (J:\MC\libraries\MC17Server\). I then did a Library Restore (not including settings) to populate it. I just don't understand how/why MC is searching for files that I have no record of anywhere. ?
What about the podcast that doesn't seem to exist either?
I've felt that the server wasn't as snappy as others brag about for a LONG time, so maybe this has been an issue for a while now? That podcast has a date from (my birthday actually) last year, so I wonder how long MC has been trying to deal with it in the background like this :P
Will report back in a few hours :)
Thanks again
Oh, if it turns out that these files are "stuck" in MC somehow, I wonder if there would there be any way to find any other problem files like these, and eliminate them too? I only ran MC for about 10 minutes to get that log, so it's not a very long period to discover more/all problems like this.
One thing at a time, I know :)

Done. Hit OK, hung MC for about 5 minutes, then returned 79 results, but they all seemed to be like this Law & Order:
I tried all variations I thought reasonable
r: - 79 results
"r:" - same results
"R:" - same results
r:\ - zero results
Rome - 64 results, similar to the above, mostly in Music
I did see 3 more weird results though in this last search; none of these file results below show a letter in their path...
Unknown Album (14)\Track10.cda
Various (1)\Track13.cda
http://media.theworld.org/pod/tech/WTPpodcast285.mp3
If I r-click and locate... both choices result in "The file '(0x021C83DB:)\Track13.cda' does not exist." the other files also do not exist. ?
I searched the settings for anything that might want a location, and nothing had R: that I could find. I did a search here too, but I assume it only searches the options, not the choices we make, so I didn't expect any results, and got none.
I guess I might just need to create another new library, then just import my files, but I don't think all my tags are correct, and I'm not sure saving them all to the files would be good right now, for other reasons to do with my lack of good organization right now, so I really don't know what to do next.
I re-ckecked my smartlist from earlier (with NO rules at all) and all results show a drive letter under location, so this is not finding the 3 weird files above.
Also, Matt said my library contains 140,000 files, but the results of this smartlist show 128814 files. I know Matt rounded, but that's still a difference of 11,000 files, which is more than I'm guessing he rounded. I must have some other files not showing up somewhere/somehow, no?
Matt:
Could you send me a full log showing some slowdowns? The last one had been reset, so I couldn't trace back to see what thread was using R:\Rome, etc.
JustinChase:
New log sent.
Thumbnails finished building this afternoon, and it's been pretty quick all evening so far. While browsing around waiting for another big hangup, it instead just crashed :(
Matt:
I don't really see slow stuff in the last logs you sent.
Loading the view 'File Type/Genre/Exists' is slow, but using the FileExists(...) expression will be slow since it talks to the file system. I wouldn't use that expression in a view I look at often.
You might also change the auto-import option for removing broken links to 'Yes' (instead of 'Yes (protect network files') to flush entries that really aren't there. Since network drives come and go, we don't do this by default.
