Question

Lightroom Mobile delete limit

Lightroom v9.3.1.990155/146

iOS 17.4.1

 

Issue

1. in device tab

2. elipses -> select

3. select more than 50 photos

Result:  Delete button grays out, and is unavailable

 

Impact;

For a large (<50) number of photos, it is tedious to delete them, having to select them 1 at a time.  There is a select all box that is useless.

I was able to delete 66 images at once using the steps you provided. Perhaps a screen recording would help to figure out what happened. If you have a paid account you could try deleting the app and reinstalling it. (DON'T do this if you have a free account)

Screen recording attached.

 

I start off with 50 selected.  When I select a 51st, the delete icon greys out.

 

if this is design, I'd like to know why.  Many times, it's much easier to select all then deselect a few.  I understand there's a risk in that, but I would accept responsibility for my own deletes

I think this is more a design choice than a bug, but I doforget the rationale for a limit.

For now, please use the native Photos.app for extensive housekeeping of your camera roll.
