Lightroom mobile on iPad using 200GB memory!

Question

My workflow relies on importing RAW files into Lightroom mobile on my iPad Pro. The images are fully synched and backed up in Adobe Creative Cloud and are fully accessible from my desktop Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic on my iMac.

Have I created a problem by importing RAW files directly into Lightroom on my iPad?

As the images are backed up in Adobe Cloud, shouldn't Lightroom mobile automatically delete the original RAW images?

How can I free up my iPad memory? Is the only option to delete the app and reinstall it and will this affect the Abobe Cloud images?

thanks, Hadrian

Once you have all your originals uploaded you could trigger Clear Cache under Lr Settings->Local Storage which should reduce the amount of local stored data. Hope this helps - Guido/ Lr Mobile QE

In Lightroom on the iPad, tap on the three dots in the upper right corner, then on Settings and then on Cloud Storage & Sync. Switch on the option to only use Smart Previews.
