Clean playlist will remove all unavailable entries in the path, its not for removing duplicates as far as I know (it would be a bad idea even considering softpatches can use copies of the same room and be different games).

It's extremely easy to clear it completely by accident if you have your games in a mountpoint that is not mounted. Ie: drive not powered on or connected, connected but not mounted, mounted but without permissions for the current user, network down for a network filesystem etc.

Can also easily happen if your mountpoint system location changed by accident, for instance, mounting two drives and what was E: is now F: in windows etc. Linux\unix\macos tries to be much more predictable about the name of the drive but it's still possible to change it (on purpose only).

if this is not the case for you, please comment with more information, like a log of the process occurring.
