P: "Trash" Functionality

It seems less than optimal for deletion of photos in Lightroom CC to permanently remove the photos from all locations, especially in the event of accidental deletion.

It would be great to have some sort of "Trash" functionality for deleted images (that could be cleared regularly as a policy) or even send deleted images to the native trash on any desktop machines connected to the cloud account.

Deleted item functionality, originally released in May on the Lightroom Web platform is now available inside all of the Lightroom Ecosystem clients.

@623764, deleted photos stay in the trash for 60 days. You can access them in Preferences >> Account >> Deleted items. I would have created this button in the "My Photos" section. But anyway, it works. Let's wait and see how it evolves.

Everything "known" at this stage is documented in my Edit Like a Pro book. The trashed photos remaining in local storage feels more like a bug / unfinished feature.

Good questions - Jon. 

At this time, I don't have a place to point you toward for further information. As the clients begin to add functionality we will be deploying help documents with more information. For now, I will have to ask you to be patient.

@8510810, a question. Is the Trash functionality documented somewhere? I’m curious about some of the technical aspects. (Do photos that are deleted in LR Classic for those not using LR CC stored there? How long do deleted photos remain in trash? How does storage of those photos work, Etc.) I’ve discovered by troubleshooting with someone else, that the photos in Trash will remain on your local hard drive (if stored locally is turned on) when using LR CC Desktop. Just curious about the other aspects of it.
