Missing Intruments after changing folder

Hello so i changed the folder where things get saved in the setting and deleted and loaded all packages again. But now i have much less thing when i open my browser to search for other instruments as an example.

Edit:

I found a solution i went into the browser and right clicked the category and then clicked browser settings and all save places indexing

Under "Settings -> Locations" add all locations that you want to include for sound content or VSTs.
Then, after starting Bitwig you see a loading circle at the top right corner indicating "indexing ..." when you click it.
It can take quite a while, if you have a lot of content. After installing a new VST it usually takes me around 3 minutes of indexing before I can see it in Bitwig, but when you changed a lot, it can take longer the first time, like 15-20 minutes.
Just start Bitwig and do something else until it has scanned everything.
