Question

Ran out of disc space, unable to access Lightroom photos

After working on a large file project, I ran out of disc space and was quickly unable to do really anything on my laptop. Upong returning to Lightroom after troubleshooting and taking care of the space issue, I realized that I am unable to access or add new files.

 

The "My Photos" menu is showing the number of photos I have in Lightroom, but will not physically show me or let me access the photos. I am able to use all other editing softwares normally so I know that I have enough space to run the application.

 

Any guidance or tips? Is there a way that I can access the original files stored in lightroom elsewhere so that I can continue the editing process on PS in the meantime? Thanks!

You can access everything in Lightroom on the web at Lightroom.adobe.com. That is a short term solution but doesn't solve the problem with the Lightroom app. You might try uninstalling and reinstalling it to see if that fixes the app problem.

    Thank you so much!

     

    Do you think my photos will be lost if I uninstall and reinstall?
