How to repair "folder marker missing"

I just started receiving this error message.

“folder marker missing (this indicates potential data loss, search docs/forum to get information about how to proceed)”

How do I fix this issue?

The .stfolder is absent beneath the folder that produces the message

Find out how the folder marker disappeared and whether any other files are missing. When you re-create the marker, any other missing files will be recognized as having been deleted. Then the deletions will propagate to other devices.

It is safer to remove the folder from the Syncthing config completely and configure it again when receiving the invitation from another device. That will restore the folder marker and treat any present files as additions, avoiding data loss.
