As part of my travel hybrid use of Lightroom (Cloud Ipad) and Classic I sometims import the raw images from my card to ipad LR. This stores the RAW in the cloud and takes up space.  Once Ive synced when I get home I no longer want the raw in the cloud or need to sync those images.  How can I sort and Find those Raws easiy.

    "Sort and Find"? After the full-size files have downloaded to the{Mobile Downloads} folder (or your specified folder)

    You can then-

    Remove selected photos from the {All Synced Photographs} collection in the Catalog panel, and go to [Photo menu > Remove from All Synced Photographs] or press the [Delete/Backspace] key. This doesn’t remove them from the catalog, but does remove them from the cloud and all synced devices.

     

    It helps to have a specified folder structure for mobile downloaded files as it can be set with dated sub-folders:

    This also makes it easier to select multiple files by 'date' sub-folder- then delete the selected files from {All Synced Photographs}.
