I've reached my 20GB limit and for the life of me can't figure out how to reduce it, despite quite a few postings on this forum and others.
I mainly use LR Classic (8.4). I download files from my Canon 5D IV directly into LR on my desktop. For some I then create a collection and sync to the CC. I then access these from my iPad for assorted culling/editing etc. Over the last few years the number of files synced and the storage usage has been gradually creeping upwards. Yesterday I got the warning that I'd used 19.2 of my 20GB.
I set about deleting old collections. In classic I create a duplicate collection that is not synced then deleted the original. I get the window warning below.
Despite doing this for some 4000 files the disk usage crept up to the full 20GB.
My understanding is that deleted files still being held for 60 days in trash don't count against your quota but to be sure I permanently deleted them using the 'Permanently Delete All' menu item in LR mobile.
I've still got 20Gb used and can't find a way to free up the space.
What am I misunderstanding ?
Thanks in advance.
