I have had LRC for several years but never really understood how to handle filing and storage. Now LRC has an error and corrupt catalog after ceding the Mac mini's storage space. Is there a basic tutorial w step-by-step directions for file management? I've mucked it up pretty good. Mac mini is 2018 so an intel processor. Current IOS and LRC versions. Thanks!

If you are exceeding the storage space, then you have really only one more choice and that is to get another hard disk and put your photos (and catalog) on that new disk.

 

Step by step tutorials on converting from Photos to LrC: https://lightroomguy.com/import-images-from-apple-photos-into-lightroom-classic/   (and Google finds many other similar articles)

 

"... how to handle filing and storage" is very vague. Your photo files can go anywhere you want. Your catalog can go anywhere you want, but it would be best (if you have space for it) on your fastest disk. If you have specific questions, please ask.
