How do I fix it that I still have access to my files on my desktop. LR still sees the files but I cannot. Only been since the newest upgrade.

Your screen capture shows Lightroom Classic, not Lightroom. The answer to your question would be different if you were using Lightroom. I am moving this to the Lightroom Classic forum.

Well I tried to move this but wasn't able to. Perhaps another moderator can give it a try.

Did you use the [Move] method when you imported the files?

Your screen-clip of LrC shows only 'Collections'- Not informative!

Compare folder location by-

1) [Right-Click] on one photo in LrC Library and select [Go to Folder in Library]-

2) [Right-Click] on one photo in LrC Library and select [Show in Finder]-

Does this show you the same folder as you show in your 'Finder Info' screen-clip?

What are {Leo Card 1} and {Leo Card 2}?

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.4.1, Photoshop 27.8, ACR 18.4, Lightroom 9.4, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

Yes, I just noticed it says move and import photos. I have been using LR for years and never has done this. Only since the newest upgrade. I just need it to stop. How do I get it to copy and import?
