I can't reproduce this if the "Mark disappeared songs unavailable" option is on (checked), with the behavior you describe it seems the option was off.
Could you check again and see if you can reproduce it consistently.
The database is in ~/.local/share/strawberry/strawberry/strawberry.db
it contains the collection and playlists, please backup this first.

Ah, I now see the missing thing.
I also removed those folders from settings -> Collection. (I moved all the old folders into one directory and added that as collection folder.)
Adding a symbolic link and adding that as folder in settings -> Collection does not help, as strawberry resolves the link and adds the destination of the link to the list of collection folders.
So:
If the folder is missing the songs get greyed.
But if the folder is also removed from Settings -> Collection, the playlist becomes blank.
Edit: thanks for the info about the database. I was able to restore the db from a day before the changes and export them as regular .m3u. With some search/replace I'll be able to add them back without a complete library re-scan (Which takes a lot of time with 1.6 TB of music.), because I added quite a lot of music. Also added more songs to some playlists, which I now don't have to manually recover.

If you remove a collection directory, those playlists with songs that point to that will be broken as it's linked with the collection database song IDs, that's the way it's structured, so no easy way to solve that.
I will look into creating an option for following symbolic links optional, but I need to check if that will be safe to do in regard to the watcher/scanner.

Maybe a warning, about the starred playlists are about to be lost - on collection folder removal, would be helpful and may prevent others falling into the same trap as me?
