This is not a false result!
Note, that ProppFrexx keeps the metadata cached in memory as well as reads them from your playlist or folder when you last scanned them.
Ie. The meta data reflects the status from the time you last read in that meta data.
When you delete tracks physically the meta data are still available as cached. The same will also happen, if you would change the metadata outside of ProppFrexx. ProppFrexx would only use and recognize this new meta data once the media lib is rescanned.

To update them in your media lib(s) you must rescan that media lib!

Then show the column ‘Media Library’ in the find window (see the column chooser).
The displayed file might come from a media lib which you did not rescan.
If the entry is coming from a playlist based media lib, you must edit this playlist.
