Accidentally deleted Mobile Downloads.lrdata

New Here ,
May 12, 2025 May 12, 2025

Hey everyone, I’m syncing several collections across multiple devices via Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Mobile. Today, I accidentally deleted the Mobile Downloads.lrdata folder from my computer.

Now, all photos in those synced collections in Lightroom Classic show a missing file (!) icon. I went into Preferences and set a new folder location for originals to be downloaded, but nothing happens – Lightroom doesn’t seem to re-download anything.

Even when I click on an individual photo with the exclamation mark, I just get a black screen and the message “File could not be found”. However, the same photos are still visible and accessible on my iPad.

How can I get Lightroom Classic to download the original files again from the cloud? Or at least relink them somehow? Would really appreciate any help!
