Hello

I have Classic running on two windows Pc's and on Pc1 i have inadvertly moved many photos for folders and am now faced with many missing photos to locate. As the two Pc's are not currently synced these missing photos do not show on Pc2. If I delete Classic from Pc1 and install the copy that is on Pc2 will that copy that has no missing photos be installed?

Windows

btw ... if you want to go the other direction, removing the missing photos/links from LrC, select to synchronize a single folder or all folder (right-click on a folder). This will give you the option to remove missing photos and/or add new findings.

You need to manually delete folders that contain 0 photos after the sync.

Removing and installing of the application will not touch (remove, copy .... whatever) any photo, the previews stored nor the catalog.

If you have moved or deleted photos behind LrC's back, and you still need these photos in LrC, then move them back to where they need to be from LrC's perspective or restore them from a backup. That is the easiest way to fix the missing links.
