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.

...however, when I navigate to LrWeb it's the same user as my CC account.


Using Preferences, Lightroom Sync, Delete All Synced data would have taken you to the corresponding LrWeb account.

So even after pressing that Delete Library button in LrWeb, when you re-enable sync in your catalogue it then reports 3170 are syncing? Try exiting LR and deleting [CATALOG NAME]sync.lrdata. Then restart and enable sync.

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