Hello all

I need some help concerning lightroom 6 and previous versions of lightroom 4, 3 etc.Can I delete or remove lightroom 3, 4 from my computers hard drive since I am no longer using them. They are taking up a lot of memory as far as I know but I'm not the best computer geek I know some things but I just need help with this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Each version is completely independent from any previous version. So there is no need to keep previous versions. You can safely and confidently remove them from your computer.

Hi there,

 

As you are no longer using the older versions of Lightroom, removing them from your computer is recommended. You need to simply uninstall the apps and keep your current Lightroom 6 app and its working catalog in place. 

 

Thanks,
