That sounds weird - how's your images organized? The timelapse sequence that you load in LRTimelapse always have to be in a child folders with no further subfolders.
This foldername will be passed to LR for import - the only thing I could imagine is that you might have some weird special characters in the pathname which break the mechanism, then Lightroom would get probably only a parent folder passed.
Please provide some more information, for example the log file after doing the drag-drop operation (info menu).

Hi,
This problem has escalated rapidly. In playing around with the import setting in LRTimelapse and Lightroom I have somehow deleted ALL my files from my user account! Not in the trash. Nothing in my photos app either! I thought hitting delete could only delete them from the import / folders visible on LRTimelapse and lightroom but it’s cleared my hard disk!
Any advice would be much appreciated. I had no idea I could cause so much damage with one click.

Certainly you cannot erase your harddrive with one click in LRT - that's impossible.
LRTimelapse allows to delete single folders, but it will always give a a confirmation dialog before deleting anything.
Furthermore it will not delete folders with subfolder, so you can't delete a whole folder tree from LRTimelapse.
I'd recommend you use your explorer/finder to check your harddrive for the files.
One further advice: In Lightroom you have a catalog and can remove folders or images also from the catalog only - Lightroom will ask you. Unlike Lightroom, in LRTimelapse there is no catalog, you see the actual folder and files on your harddrive.
