Question

How do I restore deleted photos

I use both Lightroom Classic v14.0.1 and LR (mobile) v10.0.1. I recently did a major cleanup in Lightroom classic then replicated the updates to the adobe cloud DB. During my cleanup I deleted multiple photos I should have kept. LR Classic has no image recovery. The deleted images still show in LR mobile on my iPad as I have replication disabled. Is there a way to upload my LR mobile images to override the photos in the adobe cloud DB and restore the deleted photos?

Are you making regular backups of all your photos and your catalog file? Then simply restore the photos from your backups. If not, then you need to begin making regular backups this immediately.

Hey, @default40gyo1vqrp5r. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. Here are a few things that may help, but there are some ifs. 

 

If the images were previously synced between Lightroom and Lightroom Classic, deleted images may still be available in the Deleted section in Lightroom Web (https://adobe.ly/4fVyeix). These images you can restore. 

 

You can export images as originals if they are still available on Lightroom mobile. 

 

I hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Fortunately  I was able to locate the photos in the trash and restore them.
