New account, Adobe says I have files stored but I... clearly don't??

Question

I just set up a trial for Lightroom today and it says I have 677MB of cloud storage used. I don't have anything on the cloud, nor have I ever. Any ideas why? I looked at all of the creative suite tabs in various places and I found like 10MB of images that I didn't recognize (no clue how they got there), but nothing else anywhere.

I don't know the exact answer, but I have heard that Lightroom uses some of the storage space to set up the Catalog and associated files it needs to control and manage your image files. So, yes, there can be used space even without having imported photos to the Lr Library.

"10MB of images that I didn't recognize (no clue how they got there)" and do you recognise the images in Lightroom? Are they yours? Do you use Lightroom on a mobile device?
