**Describe your question/issue here!** Hello, I am experiencing a critical backend indexing issue with my project. 1. **Negative Image Count:** My project dashboard shows a negative image count of **-14683**. 2. **Evaluation Failure:** In my latest training (Version 10), even though the Dataset Details show 3,315 images in the Validation Set, the **Confusion Matrix and all Production Metrics are 0%**. It seems the training engine cannot find the physical files due to the indexing error. 3. **Requirement:** Could you please help reset the backend reference counters for this project so the image counts and validation sets function correctly? 4. **Project Type:** Multi-Label Classification **Operating System & Browser:** macOS / Google Chrome 5. **Project Universe Link or Workspace/Project ID:** [Sign in to Roboflow](https://app.roboflow.com/mdgeniusai/surgery-comp-upefv) 6. **Do you grant Roboflow Support permission to access your Workspace for troubleshooting? (Yes/No):** Yes ---
