Working in desktop app on a Mac. When I delete a photo it grates it out but does not remove it. If I close Lightroom and reopen that photo is still there (not grayed out anymore). I have restarted Lightroom and my computer but it's still happening.

Which Lightroom are you using, Lightroom or Lightroom Classic. Are you deleting a photo from the library or from an Album/Collection? If you aren't sure how to answer these questions, post a screen capture of what you are trying to do.

We're you able to resolve this? I have the same issue and it's very frustrating!! While they're grayed out I can't delete them and it makes going through the photos very difficult

Looks like you did not actually delete these images, but only flagged them as 'Rejected' (keyboard shortcut 'X').

I just fixed this by logging out of CC then logging back in.

What is CC?

This is exactly the kind of stuff why I hate Adobe and its dominance on the market.
I lost about an hour of work just because of this. Grayed out, syncing doesn't do anything, no options whatsoever. Restart, all the deletes are back. Rrrrr.

I also have the same problem. Seems like Lightroom does not handle file deletions very well.

I just managed to sort my issue by logging out of Lightroom and then logging back in. Give it a go

Summer, but has the problem come back or its a fix that has lasted more than just closing and re opening the app?

It seems there is an issue between the syncing and the speed in which you delete photos. If I am working at a good speed deleting any unwanted photos, it is like the Creative Cloud (CC) can't keep up. I found if I turn off my wi-fi while working in LR I don't have the issue, and the phtotos I eneded up keeping just sync back to CC when I re-connect to the internet. It's stupid, espcially if you're like me and you like to multi-task and stream music in the background. I just bust out my old Walkman, and I'm good to go. But as for right now, this is the best "get-around" I have found to the deleting photo issue. Hope it helps everyone.
ADOBE!! You need to get your Poo together! I know you guys are all focused on your new AI stuff, but sometimes it's the little things that matters. Like deleting a photo.

Hi, I've just started experiencing this as well!! Has a fix been found? People keep saying I'm rejecting my photos but I check these greyed out glitched photos and they're not rejected. If I relaunch Lightroom they instantly undelete themselves which undoes hours of my time culling photos.

So I have been dealing with this same issue for months. Its very frustrating to try to sort through files. What I do is lower the exposure of an image I wanted to delete entirely which makes the image almost completely black. This way I know the difference between the images I plan to keep and edit, and the images I plan to delete. I then go back and delete all the images that appear black. If I see Lightroom stops deleting the blacked out images, I close out lightroom and open it back up to attempt again. It causes double the work but also assures I KNOW which files I wanted deleted. This glitch sucks and has been happening for months. Time to fix it Adobe !!!!

Greeting all,
For those of you who are still experiencing this issue we would like to gather some information to help us diagnose where the problem may lie.
Can you:
If you get a failure, we'd like to collect a diagnostic log from you.
For LrDesktop
Additionally, it would be helpful if you could make a screen recording showing the failure from Lightroom Desktop Application launch until the files show as no-longer-deleted.
Thank you for your patience and your assistance.
