I wanted to delete my catalog on the cloud only, so I downloaded everything and deleted the catalog, but it turns out that Lightroom doesn't store anything locally :(((( How do I restore my catalog??? I don't want to store RAWs on the cloud...

Thanks for trying to help! :') Not sure I can extract stuff from the cache but I'll see what I can do.

We will also share what we were able to recover from the server. Since you deleted your entire catalog, it is a more straightforward process. I will send you a private message with the data.

If you do not want to store your images in the cloud, then Lightroom is not the right application for you. Consider switching to Lightroom Classic.

Yes, I can switch to Lightroom Classic afterwards. But is there any way to retrieve what I deleted so I can migrate?

Select all images and then export 'as original'.

I'm not sure if you understood my question, but there are no more images. I deleted the catalog online, assuming that there would be a local copy, but there wasn't. I would like to restore what I deleted. This post seems to suggest that this would be possible. https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-discussions/permanently-deleted-all-photos-is-recovery-possible/m-p/12654058
