Lightroom is deleting photos while I watch

This is happening to me too! Help!

Adding my name to the queue of people with this issue. Horrible to watch hours of my work delete itself.

There should be an isolation mode in this software that lets you just work offline to stop any of these horrendous sync issues 

The very same thing is happening to me as we speak! And worse is that I opened Lightroom yesterday to find that all of my albums were empty and the photos were missing from the "all photos" section as well. It's so disheartening because I've just recently started photography as a means of income and have lost hours and hours of already edited material. I have many of the photos backed up, but not all. And I'm afraid to reopen the program because of the risk of losing all the photos! What can be done to resolve this malfunction?

Is there an option to chat with someone on staff regarding this? I'm trying to finish some photos for a client and have to restart the process now

How and from where did the images get imported into Lightroom CC? This may help others identify the problem.

Hi Colorocker,

We're really sorry for all the trouble. Could you please let us know the exact version of Lightroom you are using now? Also, are you facing this after the recent update of Lightroom.

suddenly the pictures start disappearing...click...click...click I can watch the counter drop

Could you please share the screenshot or a video of this issue? In which module the images are dropping from the catalog?

Please try resetting the Lightroom preferences back to defaults and check if that helps to fix this issue.
