Where does my lightroom photos go when in cloud storage, cant find them under files

Very new to the whole Adobe app system. When I launch Crative Cloud Desktop it shows my latest added photos and with an option to "Go to files". When I click this I just get a blank library where it states "No files to show". Can I only see my photos inside of Lightroom?

Should I not also be able to access the uploaded photos to lightroom when in apps on my phone or ipad?

 

Hope it makes sense

You cannot see Lightroom's storage in the cloud inside the creative cloud storage. The only way to see the images is in the Lightroom app whether on mobile or on Mac/windows or in a browser at https://lightroom.adobe.com. These files are hidden from the rest of the ecosystem probably to avoid them getting corrupted or messed with. The only way to interact with them is through Lightroom.

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud desktop to the Lightroom forum.

use a web browser to navigate to the following locations. at each location there are several folders/link to check.:

 

https://assets.adobe.com

https://lightroom.adobe.com

https://documentcloud.adobe.com

https://spark.adobe.com

 

if you delete anything from any of these locations, check for a deleted folder where your file(s) was (were) moved. if you want to clear space you must delete files in the deleted folder. the used storage shown at each of those four sites (when totaled), should match the space shown used by your cc files.
