P: "Trash" Functionality

YES!

Yahoo!!!

THIS IS GREAT NEWS !!
I just yesterday evening complained about the lack of that functionality with a friend of mine. And - tataaaaa - the next day this is fixed. (I should have complained earlier - it seems 🙂 )

Greetings All,

Effective with the release today, the first stage of a Deleted Item recovery is available to the Lightroom Ecosystem. Logging into Lightroom Web at http://lightroom.adobe.com will reveal a Deleted Icon beneath All Photos. Items deleted in any of the Lightroom clients (Desktop, Web or Mobile) should appear in this area for evaluation, recovery or permanent deletion. 

Note that this is the first step in a more robust implementation and there will be more to come.

While that is certainly not a long-term, satisfying solution, it‘s still good to know for now. Thanks!

If you contact support, they do have a way of getting them back as long as it's recent.

I hear you Bastian. I also managed to accidentally delete 1300+ pictures while attempting to delete the rejected photos. I definitely am upset at myself for not having a backup of those but I’m equally upset at Adobe for not having a safety net in place.

I would expect Adobe Cloud to run on top of cloud storage providers such as Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage who both offer ways to restore deleted objects at a lower level.

Hi, I just created an album called "trash". So when I want to delete something I first put it in that album. Later I can check this album and delete all the photos with less beeing worried of deleting unwanted originals.

Having just accidentally deleted about 150 pics of my kids from my catalog and then spent 1 hour to restore them from my old Classic library (luckily, they were old enough not to be exclusively in CC), I strongly second that request. Way to start a relaxing Sunday morning...

I would even prefer additional functionality:

1) Add a functionality "Delete all rejected photos" that will only delete rejected photos (in the current album/library). That way, I just need to make sure I use the flag correctly, but I cannot accidentally delete picked photos. This is even available in Classic. No idea why it disappeared in CC.

2) Add a system album called "Rejected" and add a functionality "Move rejected photos to Rejected" - that should be relatively easy and comes very close to a trash functionality. Once you're in that album, you could safely delete all, knowing that nothing else other than the Rejected photos should be in there.

Both should not be too difficult to implement, as you do not have to worry about storage limitations. Deletion would still be permanent, just more targeted.
