Hi dj_paige, Many thanks for the message. As I posted above I deleted them from the trash/recyle bins and also my external back up drive. If Lightroom is "seeing" the "previews" where are they stored? Many thanks, Mark

I accidentally deleted all my RAW files from my 2024 folder including the Re-Cycle Bin and External Hard Drive. However, I can see the pictures in Lightroom Classci Library as seen in above screen shots but the folders containing these images and many more are empty? How is that possible? Can these images be retreived please? Many thanks in advance.

First, look in the trash/recycle bins. If you don't find the photos there, restore the photos from your backups.

You are not seeing your photos, you are seeing thumbnails (also called "previews") created by Lightroom Classic previously for the purpose of showing you the grid in the Library Module.
