Files disappear when setting data source

[BarbaraDabney]

ArcGISPro v.2.7 - Very New Beginner - Set Data Source - Files disappearing from desired new data source folder.

I need to reset a lot of my data sources for my layers. I know where I want to link my data source but when I navigate there, the folder is empty so I cannot select a file name. Selection Type says "All Types" and that is the only option.

Hit the 'refresh' icon in the navigation pane.

If the data was added after the folder/geodatabase was indexed in Catalog, you need to refresh the window to see it. If it is still not there, it's likely the data may not be there - check the data exists (i.e. in Windows File Explorer)

Thank you. I already tried that but it still says container is empty. The folder definitely has files in it because they show in Explorer.

I don't know how to withdraw a question but we figured out that the right TYPE of data was not in the folder. Once we put it in, we were able to reset the data sources. Thanks.
