Hi! I recently ran out of storage on my Mac and while scrambling to clean it up in order to finish a project I deleted my Lightroom Library. Truly I have never understood how the cloud function works and was under the impression I was deleting deplicates but it did delete all of my photos.

Most of them are backed up so I am not too worried but it did delete years worth of presets. Does anyone know if there is a way to recover these presets?

If you mean that you deleted your local 'Lightroom Library.lrlibrary', then simply starting Lightroom and logging into your account should restore it. Of course it can only restore what was synced. If some things were still pending when you deleted the library, those things are lost.

If everything is synced to the Cloud then deleting from Lightroom will also delete from the Cloud. Photos will however appear in the deleted folder for a period, this wouldn't explain the loss of presets though.

What process did you use to delete the entire Library?

Also have you checked http://lightroom.adobe.com/ to

see if anything is still in the Cloud?
