How to Delete Albums in Lightroom on the Web

[noswad300]

I use Lightroom Classic but also sync some of my photos to Lightroom in the web.  I have un-synced several Classic collections the Albums still appear on lightroom web.  I have searche high and low and cant figure out how to delet them.  I find a delet album command but it keeps coming back "failed".

Hi there,

Sorry that images unsynced from Lightroom Classic are still showing up in Lightroom Web.

Which version of Lightroom Classic are you using? Does sync works as expected on both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Web? Are you able to upload and download images in Lightroom?

Would you mind checking the steps mentioned in this article https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/photos-deleted-lightroom-mobile-display.html and let us know if that helps?

Thanks,

Akash

Try refreshing the Lr Web app by closing and opening a new instance of lightroom.adobe.com in your browser. The empty album should then be showing as removed.

Just checked this myself and it only removes the album, but not the image files from the Web. Follow the instructions at the below link to remove the synced pictures from the Web.

Thank you. Sadly, the web pages themselves need an obvious way to say, "delete this album *AND ALSO* all the photos it contains." Instead, I've deleted the album and the linked-to instructions are out of date. Adobe has "improved" LrC. 😞
