The latest Steam Beta Update removed my secondary Steam Library. The actual files/folders are still on the disk, but I am unable to re-add them to steam. Trying to do so wield the following error message: "New Steam library folder musts be empty". There seems to be no option to add an existing library with the latest beta client.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install latest Steam Beta Client having two or more libraries
  2. Restart Steam after updating
  3. Only primary library remains, unable to re-add existing libraries
