How do I clear my lightroom cloud STORAGE?

You are replying to a three year old thread ... 

So I deleted a bunch of photos from Lightroom CC but my cloud storage was not reflecting any changes. I waited more than 24 hours and nada. Then I went to Lightroom Classic and started deleting collections and bam, I started getting more storage instantly. So even if you delete photos from Lightroom CC or Lightroom Mobile,if you have Collections on Lightroom Classic synced to the cloud they'll still take up storage.

Hello -

I primarily use Lightroom classic on my Windows desktop.  I would to sync some of my photos with my mobile CC apps to see how they will look on different platforms and adjust them with LR CC.  I followed the "delete permanently" instructions in the prior posts to free up all cloud space.  That removed my photos from the cloud but did not clear my reported 19.4GB of 20GB allotment used in my CC photo plan according to my account web page view.  I then went to my assets cloud page and deleted all files and folders. That still did not change my reported usage.  My Lightroom Classic does show 0GB of 20GB used as I wanted it to. However,  I am still showing 19.4 GB being used on my mobile and CC apps.  I have Lightroom mobile on my iPad and Android phone as well as CC on my desktop.  I waited 18 hours to see if the system would respond after some time had passed but that did not happen.

 
At this point, I have no photos or assets in my could account yet my usage still shows almost full.  Why the discrepency on the same cloud account? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Seth

Hi Andy,

To clear your Lightroom storage please go to Photo Editor | Online Photoshop Lightroom  and log in with the Adobe ID associated with your Creative Cloud membership

Then click the LR logo on the top left of the page and select Account Info

Then choose the delete library

Please let me know if this helps,

Thanks,

Here https://forums.adobe.com/message/10539456#10539456 you said that you have Lr6? No need to buy again.

I would, however, recommend going to Lightroom Classic CC as this will be further progressing.

That is obviously a bad experience but needs to have a reason, like outdated graphics drivers.

As of "disappearing catalogs" I've found the most common reason for this is the user not knowing where he stored his catalog as Lr handles this normally. Me too I would need to look at where I put the catalog. And I know that I customized it that way that my automated back-up takes it and backs it up. That was, done, if I remember well with my 5.7 version of Lr. Since then, I did not care anymore about the location (I will probably need to clean-up the old catalogs, but I'm that lazy with such tasks).

Adobe gives you the choice to use either one or the other. Lr CC (the cloud storage based Lightroom) uses the cloud to upload the pictures and it is not possible to change that. If you do not want using the cloud, you need to switch to Lr Classic CC which is basically an updated Lr6. It is clear that when using Lr CC, you need to buy cloud space...

But where in the assets page do you see your synced photos from Lightroom cc????
