I lost all my albums. They simply disappeared. Where can I find them? why this happened?

Folders are still there, but all of them are empty since yestarday afternoon. Is there a way to recover how I had organized my files or do I need to start from Scratch?

    Hi ​@Rodrigo.AloSan , Thanks for reaching out to the Lightroom Community Forums! Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, please check into the following:

    1. Check Sync Status: Ensure that Lightroom is properly synced across all devices. Sometimes, albums may appear missing due to sync issues.

    2. Restart Lightroom: Close and reopen Lightroom to see if the albums reappear after a fresh start.

    3. Check Different Views: Switch between different views (like Grid or Loupe) to see if the albums are visible in one view but not another.

    4. Review Backups: If you have previously backed up your Lightroom catalog, you may be able to restore your albums from a backup.

    I hope this helps! ^CH
