Hi

First time this has happened to me, I deleted a load of unwated photos from mhy lightroom and now in the All Photos section I have grey Icons appearing where the photos used to be.

This has never happened before and it's really anoying.

I deleted the previous folder to see if it would correct itself upon launching LR again, but has brought the grey icons back again, where the photos used to be.

Is there a way to remove these ?

Searching on this, it appears a reoccurring problem that can be described as Ghost Images occurs for some users.

You should post your problem over at the Adobe Feedback site where actual Adobe Techs respond.

https://feedback.photoshop.com/topics/lightroom-classic/5f5f2093785c1f1e6cc40872?cType=PROBLEM&page=1

note: in the sign in for that site, use your Photoshop Family account.

When you post your problem, include your screenshots, and include your System Info (as in my earlier reply).

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Past that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.

Did your deletion of photos occur within LrC, or did you use your OS file manager to delete them?

Same question for folder.

All my deletetions are done the same x and then ctrl backspace

In the "all photos" mode, this is how it looks with the greyd icons.... previously they appeared in the folder like that but i then re imported them as duplicates and it cleared that but now, all photos are showing these grey icons for any picture i now delete and it's frustrating.
