Laptop with Windows 10, 1TB internal, 2TB external
I just made the switch from Lightroom 5.7 to the Lightroom subscription. In order to maximize flexibility I chose to download both Lightroom and Lightroom Classic. I successfully migrated my catalog and had Lightroom store my photos on an external drive. I also set up Classic and set all my collections to sync. I'm storing all smart previews on my internal hard drive. In classic my synced images are stored on the internal drive. It appears that I have done something wrong because now my number of photos has doubled from 30,000 to 60,000 and I am using up most of my internal hard drive space. The cloud account shows 60,000 photos and 239 GB of space used. Before I did this I had plenty of space on my internal hard drive. I'd like to be able to take my laptop without the external drive and still work on my photos. I don't know why my number of photos doubled.
