Mobile Downloads - Irdata (Cannot find original file)

Question

I use Lightroom Classic on an IMAC.  I recently synced some of my collections to Lightroom Mobile.  After doing so -- I went to my collection on the IMAC and could only see smart previews.  When I went to locate the original file -- it said it was in the mobile dowloads.irdata folder.  I unpacked that folder and the image is not there.  I checked the privacy settings on the IMAC and that is not an issue.  I have the raw image in backup storage.  But when I go to reattach the file -- it says file already imported.  Hopefully someone has some suggestions.  Thanks!

What do you mean with "when I unpacked that folder"? And how did you try to 'reattach' the image? MobileDownloads.lrdata is not a folder, it's a 'package'. There is a way to look inside a package, and perhaps that is what you did, but we have to be sure that we understand what you did, so please describe that in more detail.
