Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the issue on the listed iOS and app versions using the three same-named Cars folders, then trace the folder move and merge behavior. Done means the second and third folders are merged or otherwise preserved and remain recoverable rather than disappearing without entering the trash.
