Want to Delete Lightroom Catalogue

Question

Hello, I'm a photographer not and especaily computer adept. I'd like clear directions on how to delete whatever/wherever LRC is filing/saving/uploading/synching my photos, and a method of keeping further use clear of these 'saves'. To be clear, but not at all hostile, my photos are saved and well kept elsewhere. What I don't want is not to be able to return later that day fro a second editing pass on a photo, and find it greyed out and unavailable to edit.

I want the same relationship with LRC that I had years ago with a cigarette machine, put in the quarters, pull the lever, get the product and walk away until next time. I want free of all the filing/saving etc that occurs behind the scenes, and simply use LRC when needed and find all as I left it.

Thanks -

You turn off sync by clicking on the cloud icon (top right) and then click on "Pause Syncing".

If you return later in the day for a second pass of editing, do NOT import the photo again. You cannot and should not import the photo a 2nd time. Go directly to the Library module and find the photo and edit it further.
