In my database tables, each of my albums appears with _options naming convention. But, there's one that's just zp_options. Is this the phantom one that appears as an extra in my Overview count of albums? (12 instead of 11)

zp_1982britain2_options,
zp_1982britain_options,
zp_1983toronto_options,
zp_1994channel_options,
zp_1996sanfrn-cleveland_options,
zp_1997bostonMacWorld_options,
zp_1997boston_options,
zp_1997ottawa_options,
zp_1997sanfrn-chicago_options,
zp_administrators,
zp_admintoalbum,
zp_albums,
zp_comments,
zp_images,
zp_options,

MIRACLE: It disappeared when I manually did setup.php and saw it finally says 11 albums. We match at long last

zp_options is the gallery option table.

And, albums are different from database tables. If you want to check congruence between your albums and the database, look at the number of records in the zp_albums table. (But this will probably be off by one since many times zenphoto creates an album for its own internal use. That album no longer shows in the count on the admin overview page.)

Ah, that's why I noticed the balancing, finally! per my other post, when I wrote this, I had not manually updated to 1574 and my previous version still had 1 extra. (I don't always get to update daily.) Thanks for finally "hiding" this extra album. Whether tables or databases on Overview tab, it now is all better.
