Harddrive full - Lightroom syncs but doesnt delete photos locally as I would want to

Hi!

 

Im currently using Lightroom (not Classic), the newest Creative Cloud Version. All my 8.000+ Photos are synced with the Cloud. When I want to add new Photos, I get "harddrive full". There is enough storage left in my Cloud. Not a single album is marked "store album locally".

 

Can I manually delete the files locally to get more disk space? My Lightroom-libary is only 32 GB when i click "info" - but if I copy it to an external harddrive, there are more than 300GB to be copied - and if I click info on the copied file (or copy it back) it is 300GB. Is this a mac OS bug? Or a Lightroom bug?

 

Also if i click info on my harddisk, free space doesnt change ...

 

All settings in Lightroom are optimized for minimal space usage ...

 

Thank you!

Bernhard
