 * Having trouble with repeated folder names… the first few uploads went well and
   then it went a little wild… I am hesitant to do a Reset as I saw a post from 
   over a year ago with the same problem and the Reset didn’t resolve it… anyway
   if you have any ideas please let me know.. have tried to attach screenshots of
   plugin folders and file manager folders to show the difference. Not sure if the
   screenshots are loading properly…

 * Yes, doing a reset will not provide a permanent solution to this issue. The plugin
   will periodically scan all the folders in media library and compare the results
   with the database. If the relative path of the folder is not found, it will be
   added to the database.
 * I don’t know if spaces in folder name are causing this issue. These folders were
   not made using Media Library Folders as spaces and punctuation marks are not 
   normal URL characters and folder and file names have to be used when display 
   or linking to a media file. I suggest remaking the folders through the create
   folder icon in Media Library Folders, moving the files from the old folder and
   then deleting the original and duplicate folders. Perhaps it will not duplicate
   the ones created though Media Library Folders.
