What is stored in appdata/local/adobe/lightroom cc/data/..../originals?

I'm going through my hard drive and I realize that this folder has a significant footprint (~100GB) and appears to have full-size copies of raw images from my catalog. As the source images are on the same disk, I do not see a need to cache these images at full-resolution. Any ideas as to what causes these copies? The only plugin I'm using is http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/folder-publisher

Lightroom CC - which is what that path points to - is the online version, not the disk-based Lightroom Classic. You'd probably be better off asking in that forum. It sounds like you've asked the app to store local copies on your hard drive.

So bizarre. While I do have LR CC installed on my computer, I only opened it once by accident and have only imported a single image from mobile to its database. All of my working has been with classic. I'll just chalk this up to "probably something with the plugin" and will uninstall LR CC and remove the files manually if necessary.

TBMK This maybe the default folder that stores copies of files that are in your Lightroom Mobile device system.

Did you Import these files through the cloud version of Lightroom at any time?

No, not at all! As stated in a below message, I only opened up LR CC once on my computer (by accident, clicked the wrong icon) and have only imported a single image using the mobile app. I'm just going to remove LR CC and make sure the files get removed.
