Hello

 

I mostly use Creative Cloud for Lightroom, with my photography.

 

My cloud storage of 20GB in Creative Cloud is full, but I do not wish to upgrade for now.

How can I remove data in order to freshen up the GB?

And also, where exactly can I find the Lightroom library, in order to remove a selection of RAW files?

 

Thanks so much in advance!

Have you thought of using a USB flash drive to carry with you... here are 2, there are many more available
PNY brand https://www.amazon.com/PNY-512GB-Turbo-Attach%C3%A9-Flash/dp/B0BF5VHLBZ
SanDisk https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-512GB-Ultra-Flash-Drive/dp/B083ZLJ5MG
Other flash drives are 1 or even 2 Terabytes

use a web browser to navigate to the following locations. at each location there are several folders/link to check.:

 

https://assets.adobe.com

https://lightroom.adobe.com

https://documentcloud.adobe.com

https://spark.adobe.com

 

if you delete anything from any of these locations, check for a deleted folder where your file(s) was (were) moved. if you want to clear space you must delete files in the deleted folder.

 

the used storage shown at each of those four sites (when totaled), should match the space shown used by your cc files.

 

=====================================

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
