CRLogs/Dump files

[meseltine]

Hello,

In Lightroom Classic there are files called "crWinDump", thay are contained in the CRLogs folder. Can anyone explain to me what they are and if they are safe to delete? They are taking up 193 GB on my hard drive...

Thank you,

They are Windows Crash logs. They have nothing to do with Lightroom A log of this type is generated everytime Windows crashes. They might be useful for some windows expert to diagnose the cause of the crashed, but unless you are seeking this kid of support from Microsoft, you can safely delete them.

Thank you for your response to my inquiry. It is astonishing to me that crash logs would take up that much space on my hard drive...

Out of curiosity, I searched my main Win system for crWinDump files. I found 2. Both early December, 2024.

They were both under Adobe subfolder names .

I assume (but may be wrong) that Adobe error routines invoked Windows crash logs.

Since upgrading to the last ver of Lrc 13 and subsequently to 14.xx to the current install ver of 14.11 .. my LrC has displayed frequent long delays for something that should be almost instantaneous.

On multiple occasions LrC has crashed.

My reading of the situation that LrC is wading thru a pile of internal junk ... maybe left over from recent upgrades.

I have no obvious way on how to trouble shoot this.
