How did you delete the folder ?
Did you do this in windows explorer ?
If so then what can happen is Hoster still thinks all those files are in the database because you didn't remove them via Hosters edit dialog or by using the exclude folder option first to remove those folders from the songs.mdb in the build database dialog.
Then when you try adding the same songs again it treats them as duplicated files and sends them to the quarantine folder.
I see you say you have done this in the past so perhaps you did something slightly different but I wouldn't recommend this approach.

my process for deleting old folder & adding new is:
- removing songs using exclude folder
- updating database (removes all songs)
- closing hoster
- copy new file folder using explorer
- reopening hoster
- removing folder from excluded folders list
- re add new folder & run rescan folder
sometimes i simply add new songs but oftentimes i completely wipe and create a new file because i work on spelling errors, removing duplicates etc. on a separate laptop and replace old folder for new. does this make sense?
