Lightroom Classic won't stop syncing

I don't know what I did, but Lightroom Classic seems to be in an endless loop of syncing and I can't figure out how to make it stop. Any suggestions?

"Lightroom Classic seems to be in an endless loop of syncing"

 

What do you see that makes you say that?

Pausing the sync works, but when I un-pause the sync, Lightroom is showing multiple copies of each image that's in the All Synced Photographs catalog. I'm trying to simply un-sync all photos and now I'm getting two, three, four copies of photographs in my folder. It's churning through data and I don't need multiple copies of a these photos that I no longer need synced.

So now everything is wiped from LrWeb, which is good. 

 

I've cleared out All Synced Phtographs in LrClassic:

When I go to the upper right corner in LrClassic and unpause sync, it starts syncing some 3000 photos:

I'm afraid that this is going to start that endless loop of creating virtual copies so I've paused syncing again. Should I let this run?

 

 

 


Have you not gone through that Delete dialog in my previous post?

You should be able to click on the Cloud icon to turn sync off (or "paused")
