Dossier étrange

[paull59910040]

Sur mon MacBook Pro (M4, 2025), un dossier étrange nommé tout simplement / est apparu dans le répertoire où se trouvent tous les fichiers créés pour gérer mes photos. Ce dossier est volumineux (env 144 Go), et contient de nombreux fichiers, que je ne peux lire.

Ce dossier est apparu quand j'ai changé d'ordinateur, et semble contenir des images.

Quelqu'un a une idée de ce que peut contenir ce dossier ? 

Merci pour votre aide.

Is this question related to Lightroom Classic in any way? Please explain.

Can you tell us the name and full path of this strange folder, and also the names of some of the files in this folder?

Sorry. I forgot a few details. Yes it is related to LR Classic. 

The complete path is User/Lightroom/Nouvelles photos/ / (a simple slash is the name of the folder). In this folder, there are many folders (titled 0 to 9, then A to F), full of different files. 

When I made the transfert, the size of Nouvelles photos LR 2025 Previews.lrdata diminished a lot; and I am wondering tif this folder named / (slash) could be temporary files that were not included in Nouvelles photos LR 2025 Previews.lrdata

Thanks for answering.

Here you can see a screen capture of the folders.

In the column on your right, these are usually the folders that contain your Lightroom Classic previews. However, previews are usually in the folder whose name ends with previews.lrdata, they should not be in any other folders. So its still not clear to me what that column on the right is, and you didn't show us what is in one of these folders.

Hello, Here is a more complete screenshot.

What is in the folders whose name ends with previews.lrdata in the Nouvelles Photos folder?

[paull59910040]

The previews of the photographs. The file is large, around 30 Gb

What I would do is move that entire / folder to somewhere else, possibly on an external drive, and see if LrC works properly. If after a few days LrC is still working properly, I would just delete the / folder.

I was thinking about this solution. I think I will try it.

Thanks.
