I am trying to free up some cloud space, as i keep getting nagged that i am approaching my limit

Initially i tried to delete some old collections/folders (whatever they are called these days), but it seem this simply deletes the folder, not the photos contained within

So i am now trying to filter all photos not currently in a collection, so that i can bulk select and delete

This seems like such a simple process, but is somehow eluding me, any help would be very much appreciated

ightroom v 7.1.2

Try this: In the Search bar, start typing "not in any album:" (without quotes). As soon as you've completed the first word, you should see a list of entities shown below the search bar, near the top will be "Not in any album". Click on that and the grid will show all the photos that aren't in any album.
