Deleting All Synced Photos from Classic (but keeping them on Cloud)

Thanks for the replies.  I understand that "syncing across devices" always comes with a bit of file management confusion, but it is a shame that once the photos are synced with Lightroom Classic the program overtakes control of the "cloud photos" without giving the option to just delete from the open Classic Catalog.

Given how Classic and CC still operate as two different programs (and can be used in multiple different ways) I hope this is something that adobe address in future updates.

When in doubt try it out... take one image and delete. Then check your Lr Web CC catalog. Not sure how you are syncing your CC catalog with a Classic catalog.

EDP23  wrote In Lightroom Classic, running on my desktop, how can I remove the photos under “All Synced Photographs” WITHOUT deleting from the cloud and Lightroom CC? (Basically, I’ve synced my Lightroom CC photos with a Lightroom Classic catalog that I don’t wish to contain those photos. But now, when I try and delete them from Classic it mentions it will delete from all synced devices including Lightroom CC.) Slightly confused and maybe I’m missing something obvious...? Thank you.

You can't. If you delete an image from 'All Synced Photographs' in Lightroom Classic, you will delete it from the cloud. The only thing you can do is not sync that Lightroom Classic catalog anymore.

Are you using both CC and Classic with the same images?
