Delete synced images local only

Explorer ,
Jun 12, 2023 Jun 12, 2023

Hey friends,

I have a second computer where I want to avoid the synchronized images being downloaded.
I paused the synchronization but there are already over 300 images downloaded/synced.

How can I delete these images only from the computer/catalog without affect the cloud?
If I try a simple delete it says that images get deleted from the cloud when I restart the sync and that's exactly what I don't want.

You can only sync one Lightroom Classic Catalog with your Adobe Creative account so if you are installing on two computers then you should only have Sync activated on one Computer. You cannot sync from LrC to LrC.

Explain what you wish to achieve and other users will offer advice.

It's a Collection which is synced.
I disabled the sync option on my second Computer but there where already 300 images synced, which I don't want.
So the question is, how can I delete these 300 images only on the second Computer without affecting the sync itselfe?

You will need to provide a lot more detail. See more info below.

Is Lightroom Classic on the first Computer still synced to your Creative Cloud a/c?

If you are were syncing Collections from that Catalog then there would be smart Previews in storage in you Creative Cloud a/c. Those Smart Previews will not count towards your storage.

If you started syncing to your Creative Cloud Storage from the Second Computer you should have got a warning to decide if you wished to Sync from that Catalog. What choice did you take?

Do you have Lightroom (Cloud-based) application installed or Lightroom Mobile on a Smartphone or Tablet installed with sync turned on? They will Sync original images to your Cloud Storage and those will count against your allocated storage.

Ok, if you wish to retain your first computer's Catalog as the synced Catalog then you should keep the sync option on the second computer paused. Concentrate on checking if the Collections from the first computer are still in place and functioning correctly.

I have not experienced your issue so I am not certain of the best procedure to sort out the issues on the second installation of Lightroom Classic.

I am sure other users will comment.
