Hello,

I need to free up space on my C drive, but I am not comp savy enough to know what is un-needed. I have backed up my current catalog and lightroom classic is up to date.

Thank you in advance!  😃

Where are your photos located (which drive)? What is taking up all that space on your C drive?

If all worked fine you can delete everything except all named Lightroom Catalog-v13-3 and the Mobile Download.lrdata folder.

I'll recommend to save all files to a external hard drive before you  delete it.

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Files with names ending in lrcat-data must be backed up as well.
