Photoshop seems to be moving psb, tif, etc files to recycle bin (2tb)

I have some large psb files; up to 17gb. My NAS storage demand has been exploding, however more than the amount of large files. This was confirmed by checking the image folders.

 

Then I checked the recycle bin; almost 2tb of image files and other related files. I did not delete these files.

 

Some Photoshop operations seem to be moving files to the recycle bin. I guess when files are saved, the pre-existing file is deleted, which moves it to the recycle bin. Is this how Photoshop and Lightroom work?

NAS is fine for long-term storage, but not as a working disk. Never save directly over a network connection. It's unsupported and officially warned against:

Over time we've seen a lot of threads about NAS, both file corruption and files disappearing.

 

Save on local drive, then copy over.

My problem is not files disappearing, but files propagating. Your response, while informative does not answer the question whether Photoshop deletes pre-existing files during the Save process. How else do they move the Recycle bin?

Ah, sorry, that's what speed-reading gets you 😉

 

Yes and no. Photoshop uses a "safe save" procedure that first saves to a temp file, then when that save is complete and error-checked, the original is replaced.

 

You shouldn't see the deleted original in the recycle bin and you normally don't. This is probably one of those quirks that can happen with network saving (which, again, you shouldn't do).
