Downloading all images

I have ran out of space with my subscription.

Trying to free up some cloud space by downloading all my images to my laptop.

I normally use Lighroom on my iPad, that is what I am most familiar with.

I just installed Lightroom Classic on my PC, but I don't even know how to locate all my files, I don't even think it is sync to the cloud so it doesn't know all I have on the cloud.

Please help me locate all my files in LRc and download all my files to my PC.

I tried the Lighroom download manager, but it skipped like 2000 files, now I don't know what was doenloaded and what remains, I don't want to delete anything. I am trying to view all my files inside LRc so then I can select groups that are more manageble and make sure they download complete. Please Help.

    Just enable sync of the Lightroom Classic catalog (cloud icon upper right corner). Lightroom Classic will download all the cloud images to your hard drive. By default it will download them into an obscure folder inside your catalog folder, called 'Mobile Downloads.lrdata', but you can change this to any normal folder (and create a dated subfolder hierarchy if you want) in Preferences - Lightroom Sync (so do that first). After the images have been downloaded, you can remove them from the cloud (keeping the local copies you just downloaded) by removing them from 'All Synced Photographs'.
