I don't understand what you call "temporary import data folders". There is no such thing in LR 6.14.

I think you're refering to the space (named "previous import") that shows the photos you've just imported. This is not a folder and it doesn't contains photos either. It's a "Collection" that references the photos from your previous import. A collection occupies no disk space. The photos themself are where you imported them on disk. In this collection, LR is just showing you a small preview of these photos, wherever they are on disk.

We don't really know what folders you are referring to. Please be specific. Please show us a screen capture.

please start a new thread, explain the problem completely and in detail, and be sure to state your Lightroom Classic version NUMBER and be sure to state your operating system version NUMBER.

I've moved this from the poorly named Community Help forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Lightroom forum so that proper help can be offered.
