Lightroom Mobile not in sync with Lightroom Classic

I've emptied my All Synced folder in Lightroom Classic (it had got in a mess with far too many images in it so I decided to start again) but 1282 previously synced pictures still showing in Lightroom mobile. Why and how do I remove them?

No, that will only delete the online images. Of these images are synced with Lightroom Classic after all, then in Lightroom Classic it will only unsync them.

Go to https://lightroom.adobe.com and login. You are now in Lightroom web. Click on the upper right icon (your account icon) and then 'Account Info'. That will give you an info dialog with a button "Delete Lightroom Library". Alternatively, click on 'All Photos', select the first photo and then shift-select the last photo and delete them. Then go to 'Deleted photos' to permanently delete them.

Thanks Johan. That will definitely only delete them from my cloud library so that I can start creating new synced collections from scratch - it won't affect the images in my Lightroom library or the folders on my hard disk?
