Question

Delete all Adobe Cloud images whilst preserving versions in Lightroom Classic?

I've finally had enough of Adobe's awful Cloud service and have been deleting all shared albums. I'm however left with around 10k images in the Cloud, mainly from various mobile devices which have then synched to Lightroom Classic, so I do have original images on my local NAS. If I try to delete any images in the web interface, it warns me that they will be deleted from Lightroom, but it does not make clear whether this is just from Lightroom CC in the Cloud or whether it will attempt to delete the copies on my local storage. 

 

So if Adobe or anyone else can confirm how to completely ditch Adobe Cloud whilst preserving my local images, I'd be grateful

    Log into http://lightroom.adobe.com/ and click the user profile (top right), then select Account Info and then Delete Lightroom Library.

     

    This will delete everything in the Cloud, as long as all your images are downloaded to your HD (normally in the folder specified) in Lightroom Classic, they will remain independent of this.

    Thanks - that was very helpful. All part of migrating away from Adobe products.
