Hi, 

 

My mobile lightroom cloud storage is full, however, i'm not sure how to free up space? It's not synced to my computer, I checked, so I can't change it there. 

As many of you have probably experienced, having a question that seems to have no solution is super frustating.

Thank you!

After watching a Youtube video since Adobe doesn't seem to touch on this issue, and some digging of my own, I found out. 

If you're using lightroom MOBILE and your cloud runs out of storage, you need to download the creative cloud app. From there, go to Files > LR Photos > then proceed to delete photos you no longer want synced (make sure you have a copy somewhere though) Then delete them in the trash can (still testing this part out, if it's neccessary or not) 

But I was able to free up room! Hope this helps anyone else. Thank you if you tried to help as well 🙂

If you delete the photos from the cloud to free up space, where are you hoping to keep them instead? Do you sync to a desktop computer perhaps?

The originals/edited ones are in my cameraroll! I'm not too worried about losing them, they're mostly just selfies or random things haha. I actually did find the answer to my question as well, but I appreciate you replying!!! 🙂
