Thanks for answering. I actually use Lightroom CC on my iPhone as my everyday camera. I prefer to take images with it than with the native iPhone photo application. I use the dng raw format and I'm very happy with the postprocessing functionalities of Lightroom CC and the Photoshop suite on my Phone. I'm not a big user of Lightroom on the computer (although I should, since my photo library is a mess... but that's another story). Usually I export my Lightroom CC pictures to my native iPhone picture library, from which I can easily transfer them to my computer. Today I tried differently: I wanted to 1) copy the cloud content onto my computer (done, no problem), 2) empty the cloud storage, 3) transfer the remaining local Lightroom CC pictures from my phone to the cloud (I was actually expecting that this would happen automatically after step 2), and 4) repeat 1 and 2. It really came as a bad surprise that step 2 would not only clear the cloud, but also my local iPhone Lightroom library (the more so since I performed steps 1 and 2 on the computer). It's a pitty Adobe isn't more explicit about the effect of using the procedure recommended above. At no time did I imagine that I was taking a risk of deleting something else than what was in the cloud. I did a full backup of my iPhone yesterday with iTunes. I'm currently restoring it. Hopefully my Lightroom library will be back. If I'm not lucky, I'll follow your recommendation and start a new discussion.
