Question

Lightroom won't delete selected photos from HD?

Hi, since yesterday LR refuses to delete marked files from my HD. I normally work as follows: reject files using 'x', then press CLTR-BCKSPC (windows) to delete files. Pop up shows: delete from Collection OR delete from collection and disk.

 

This options seems to have disappeared....

 

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I'm using Lightroom Classic 8.4.1. Haven't used the delete option very often, so I just went and tried it. If I use it in a collection I find that I am only given the option to remove the image from the collection. Lightroom Classic doesn't give me the option to delete from the disk. That's about all I can tell you.

Are you using Lightroom or Lightroom Classic? There's a difference, and it would be well if you would clarify which version you are using. Please state the exact version number you are using.
