Question

Deleting locally does not remove in cloud

Hi, 

If i delete a picture on my installed version of lightroom on my desktop, why does it not delete it in the cloud as well? When I login to the online service I keep seeing my deleted photos. I want them to sync. If I delete a picture on my local computer, it would be great if it could delete it in the cloud as well. Any help appreciated.

Hey, @NiklasHjelm. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

 

You can delete the images in the Lightroom desktop application & the deleted images are kept in the Deleted tab in Lightroom for the next 60 days until they are deleted permanently.

 

 

You can permanently delete the images here & they should be deleted from the cloud.

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Is there a way to prevent syncing deleted pictures to the cloud or a least filtering them out in the online view? They are greyed out on my local computer which is annoying but manageable, online they look like non-deleted photos which is confusing.
