    ​@WulfPetersen   First you question needs more detail, such as- How did things get mixed up?

    CAUTION. Be aware that if you delete folders and files in the LrC catalog then you can delete from the disk as well- not what you want!  Wait for better advice before deleting anything.

    And can you explain what you mean  by “folders installed by LrC”?

     

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

    I want to start with a “clean” lightroom. And I dont know which of these catalogs I can delete and which of them are really important. What can I do to start new?

    In the folder Old Lightroom Catalogs, these are the catalogs that existed before you performed an upgrade of Lightroom Classic to a new version (usually a whole number change such as upgrading from version 13 to version 14, or version 14 to version 15). In general, you don’t need these unless you prefer to save these catalog files as potential backups of your catalog file. But don’t delete them just yet, I am not recommending that because I still don’t really understand your situation. Also: You should be making regular and automatic backups of your catalog file anyway.

     

    In folder Lightroom, the file named Lightroom Catalog.Lrcat is your current Lightroom Classic catalog, so you need to keep that. Other files whose name begins with Lightroom Catalog are also needed.

     

    I’m not 100% sure I know what you mean by “clean” Lightroom Classic. You can always create a new catalog which is empty and does not know about anything you have done previously in Lightroom Classic, is that what you want?
