High memory usage

Question

I am using Lightroom Classic 13.5.1 on a Macbook Pro with an M2 chip, Running Sequoia 15.0.  The app is using a ridiculous amount of memory, 55+GB causing a recurring error message, "your system has run out of application memory" even when all other apps are shut down.  Everything else in my activity monitor is in the MB range.  I have deleted all files that were causing sync errors and have repeatedly shut down and restarted both the app and the computer with no success. The only thing that I have not done is delete sync error files permanently.  They are still in the deleted folder in LR online.  Hoping you can help resolve this issue.

My Lightroom Classic is using over 30GB memory which is a crazy amount more than any other applications. I repeatedly receive the message, "Your system has run out of application memory".  Even when I close all other apps I continue to get the message. I am on a Macbook Pro with the M2 chip, 24GB memory running Sequoia 15.0.  Hoping someone can tell me why LR is using so much memory and help me reduce it to a reasonable amount.
