Delete photo locally when deleted in cloud

Good morning,

I use Lightroom Mobile and the cloud sync to get photos from my iPhone 15 Pro to Lightroom Classic. It works well, new photos get automatically added to Lightroom Mobile and are then synced to Lightroom Classic, where they appear in the folder specified in the sync settings.

However, what does not work is deletion, if I delete them in the Lightroom Mobile app, the photos are also deleted on the cloud if I login to the Web version, but in Lightroom Classic they remain.

Is there a way to automatically have photos deleted from Lightroom Classic when they are deleted in the mobile/cloud apps?

    No, there isn't, but there is vice versa. Photos that are deleted from the cloud, are only removed from 'All Synced Photographs' in Lightroom Classic. Photos deleted from Lightroom Classic are deleted from the cloud too. So do all your file management in Lightroom Classic.

    OK, thanks! Not ideal, but also not a showstopper.
