Hi, I have Lightroom on my phone and I don't know why I allowed the program to backup the photos from the phone into Lr account (30gb) therefore I quickly finished the space in it. I think I have now stopped the backup from the phone but I need to cancel the old photos. Do you know if there is a way or I need to cancel 1 by 1 ? 
Thanks

Hello @domenaso 

 

Are you seeing this Lightroom's 'Device' tab?  If so, that's becayse Lightroom is simply displaying your camera roll.  In newer versions of the app, this view of the camera roll is meant to make it easier to navigate your camera roll images, and select images to edit or import.

 

Or, are you talking about what you see in the 'Lightroom' tab, under All Photos or Imports?  If the app is really importing images, they will be shown there.  

 

Please check and confirm whether your have auto-import enabled in app Settings, and disable that to stop further automatic imports.  For clear steps, see the section titled "Auto-add photos to Lightroom" on this help page: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/import-mobile-ios.html
