I syncd my LR Classic to LR and it started filling up my 20GB storage. I want to delete the images from off mobile, but it says that if I delete them, they will be deleted from all applications of LR. My questions is if I needed to export the collections as a catalog, go in and dete them images from mobile and then import the collections back into LR Classic. Looking for best solution so I don't lose the images and then after to reload and edit images again

Jao has the answer, but I add comments to your quotes-

"I syncd my LR Classic to LR..."

For clarity- How? Did you create Collections in Lr-Classic and mark these to Sync?

Or did you 'Migrate' your Catalog to Lightroom (Cloud)?

"and it started filling up my 20GB storage."

'Syncing' Collections from Lr-CLassic does not use any space of the Cloud 20GB- None, Nil, Nada.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

The notification is incorrect. If they have synced to Lightroom CLassic, deleting them on mobile will NOT delete them from Classic. So if you are sure they have synced to Classic, you can delete them from mobile and they will simply no longer sync from Classic but remain in the Classic catalog. Alternatively, you can remove images from the all synced Photographs collection, or click on the sync badge on the iomage which will delete them from the cloud storage but will retain them in your Classic Catalog. That is usually the safer option as you will know for sure they have synced down to Classic.
