Hello everybody, I am running a late version of Lightroom Classic on my M3 MBP. I made a stupid mistake the other night and accidentally created a hitch in my backup system to where I was using Carbon Copy Cloner. I recently got some new SSD drives, my Carbon Copy Cloner task menu was full of old things so I decided to delete everything old.

Well, I accidentally made a boo-boo, and I will chalk it up to exhaustion, so I took my Lacey rugged 2 TB SSD, which is one of my two drives and is currently my primary working drive, which I back up to a 2 TB scan extreme when I created the new Carbon Copy Cloner profile accidentally copied the back up onto what is supposed to be my primary drive long story short I went and tried to fix things messed it up. I decided to rename the drive and correct everything. It says my main drive has 668 GB of space left on it. I just tried to download a memory card with 25 photos of the sunset I took. I got the message in the screenshot. I know my Z9 takes large photos, but they should not be that big at least 600 GB! I'm at a loss anybody have any advice?

This is hard to understand, how renaming this drive would correct anything. Can you explain further?

 

However, the first thing to try is to "un-rename" the drive.

You should try that. However, one time you type Z9photos (no space, capital Z) and later you say z9 photos (with a space and lower case Z). Please get the old drive name exactly correct.

Check your import dialog. Did you check the 'Make secondary copy' option? If so, this error may come from that option. Maybe the destination folder for the secondary copy no longer exists.
