Lost albums

I have 1 smart album (Not in album) to show me pictures that I haven`t sorted into my albums yet. Now a problem has appeared, there are pictures that doesent show in any album and they are not visible in my smart album either. Luckely they are still under all pictures.


How can I sort this. I have not find a way to tell which album a specific picture belongs to. And I don`t know how many pictures that isn`t placed in any album.

Is your signature " macOS 10.13" still valid? If you already upgraded to macOS 10.15 Catalina, it would explain what you are seeing, because there is a bug related to the "Album is not Any" smart album, see:

On Catalina you must not delete any album without removing the photos from the album, before you delete it, or the photos will continue to be treated as in an album.
