This is dredged up from long unused memory cells so may be inaccurate.

When I had a similar problem the directory path was lost as well.
So everything seemed to be under the root dir.  Or something like that.

Whatever you do, do not recover back to the original directory structure
with that corrupted index, even an edited one.  Recover into an empty
directory and after checking it seems alright, copy what you want to
the locations you want them.
