lightroom sub files

Question

after some years using lightroom, I noticed that when I import pictures, Lightroom places them in subfolders, by year. I want to delete the subfiles--they are cluttering up my menu. I DON'T want to delete the pictures in them, just the subfile structure. How do I do that?

John, first question- Are you using Lightroom or Lightroom-Classic?

If Lightroom, then Lr uses Albums that can be grouped in (so called) folders.

If Lightroom-Classic, then I would suggest you investigate your settings in the [Destination] panel of the import screen.

More information please, and screen-clips showing what you see are helpful.

Please include the following in your question:
Adobe product and Version number.
A Screenshot of the info panel from MENU: Help/System Info...
Operating system and Version number
