Hi there,

 

If you're using Lightroom Desktop you cannot delete images from the application as all the images that you see in the application are store on the cloud. Images are stored locally in Lightroom Classic and can be deleted as well.

 

See: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroomclassic/help/photos.html#remove_photos_from_catalogs 

 

However, even if you delete images from Lightroom Desktop, they can be recovered within 60 days.

  • Open Lightroom desktop, Lightroom for mobile, or Lightroom on the web.
  • Click the My Photos icon. 
  • You can view the Deleted album which displays the total number of deleted photos from Lightroom desktop, mobile, and the web. Open Deleted to view your deleted photos. 

 

Thanks,

Akash
