This has been racking my brains now and I need some help please.

My Cloud Storage in CC says 16GB out of 20GB. I'm deleting photos from LR CC and LR Mobile but it's having no difference on the cloud storage. I've also gone to Assests and Archive and it says I have no files uploaded at all. I'm completely baffled by this and wondered if someone can help me please?

Are you deleting from All Photos? Deleting from an album will not remove from the cloud.

It is possible to delete from your Lr web app. Log-in at the link below. Go to All Photos and select the images you want deleted, then click the trash can icon on the blue menu at the top and confirm you wish to delete permanently.

thank you, I've been deleting albums thinking it would delete the photos, but it doesnt. So confusing.

Deleting from All Photos doesn't delete them from Classic does it?

No, deleting images from the cloud does not delete them from Classic, it just stops them from syncing by removing them from the All Synced Photographs collection in Classic.

With the introduction of the deleted tab, files permanently deleted immediately free up cloud storage space but remain available for 60 days should you wish to restore one or more.

I just did the following test:

Checked Storage. = 9.22MB of 100GB possible

Added 7 11MB raw images thru Lr CC desktop

Storage went to 77.19 MB almost instantly

Then I deleted 3 of the images using Lr CC Web and the other 4 using Lr CC desktop

Within 20 seconds the usage dropped back to 9.22MB

Point is - The Adobe system seems to be working quite well.

i have the exact same problem.

i uploaded 32GB with the 1TB subscription, changed to 20GB subscription plan, and, of course it was 32/20 GB full.

I deleted all files, but adobe tells me i still use 32 GB of my available 20GB.

support contacted 2 times, they are not helping.

on adobe cloud website there are no files uploaded at all. neither in the  trash bin nor in the archive.

please adobe, just fix this issue for me ! im paying for it, so do your job please.

Open Lr Classic and open your synced catalogue. Let sync complete, and important verify that it has downloaded all the photos you expect. Double check.

Now go into Classic's Preferences, LRCC, and choose Delete All Data. It'll ask you to confirm.

That should be it.

I needed support a couple months ago. I'm talking to someone in India, and omg.....very time consuming, very frustrating. When I have time, i'm going to learn ALL of my Affinity on my IPad, and load it on my IMac.  I hate this freakin' system they developed!!

I too have this issue and have emptied the cloud trash and done the "delete all data" online and it still shows over half my 20gb storage used.  It's insane there is no place to go that just shows every file in your cloud storage in one place.  Support was also contacted and just had me jump through all the hoops just to say that it's going to the backend team and who knows from there.  Just give me a reset all storage or a real delete all cloud data button please!

Adobe being Adobe - making updates no one wants and changing things around as if no one ever used their products before and wants some continuity.

Sorry you are running into issues here.  It looks like none of your storage is associated with Lightroom, so if you have not yet reviewed, please look at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/delete-files-permanently.html -- the process for reclaiming storage is different for non-Lightroom cloud storage.

You’ve posted to a very old thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same issue which you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information including system information, a complete description of the problem and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

 

In the unlikely event the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

 

Thank you!
