Hey, @. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you get started with this.

In general, the steps shared here should help you move your catalog database: https://adobe.ly/47H5nvm

If this does not help, you can follow this comprehensive video from Julieanne Kost: https://adobe.ly/3zJmu35

I hope this helps.

You use your operating system (Mac Finder or Windows Explorer) to move the catalog file (name ends with .LRCAT) to another disk. You may want to move the previews and associated files shown below for me. The folders with "Preview" in the name are optional, if you don't move them LrC will rebuild them (but if you don't move them, delete them from your hard disk)

I don't know what you mean about synchronizing images afterwards. Moving the catalog does not require such a step.

thanks a lot for your answer

that was the purpose of my question  about the folder preview i was afrid not to link to the original images if i move the lrcat folder without moving in the same time the preview folder see below the lrightroom folder that take a lot of space on my main disk 127 go  !  the idea is to move this folder ( lightroom on the same disk where are all the original files )
