# Steps to reproduce:
1. inspect <https://apple.com>
2. select the <https://apple.com> frame tree element in the Resources tab
3. refresh the page
 => many assertions fire
     - Assertion Failed: Unable to get index for tree element.
     - Assertion Failed: Index must be a non-negative integer.

It looks like `WI.TreeOutline`'s `_cachedNumberOfDescendents` is a negative value.

Did some digging. When the frame navigates, FrameTreeElement calls TreeElement.prototype.removeChildren, which the immediate base class, FolderizedTreeElement overrides:

removeChildren()
{
    super.removeChildren();

    this._clearNewChildQueue();

    for (var folder of this._folderTypeMap.values())
        folder.removeChildren();

    this._folderExpandedSettingMap.clear();
    this._folderTypeMap.clear();

    this._groupedIntoFolders = false;
}

Calling `removeChildren` for each FolderTreeElement leads to the assertions when trying to calculate the indexes of TreeElements which are no longer attached the tree.

I think the fix is to simply remove this step. I don't think it is necessary. We clear the map below, and I don't believe we hold on to any references to the FolderTreeElements after this function returns.

Typo: deteached => detached
