Remove over 1000 photos in Lightroom How To

Can someone explain why lightroom will only let me remove up to 1000 photos at once? I'd like to just select all my weddings from these past months and get rid of them on Lightroom. If I select more than 1000 it won't remove them, so it makes the process annoyly time consuming. Or is there a way I don't know about??

Hi - I updated to the latest version and it still won't remove more than 1000 photos from the Lightroom. Am I doing this wrong? Uploaded 2 different photos.


Whoops, nevermind. Got it to work now! It still will delete them if I go over 1000, just not restore them if I need.

Hey @Alyssa23868072ueuz, 

 

That is a great question! I just wanted to confirm when you say remove, you mean delete/remove from your cloud backup, correct?

HI - I don't use Cloud backup, just my desktop and I save everything on an external harddrive. So, is there a different way to go about it?
