Cold sweats and panic have now subsided, I post this as a warning for others, on the assumption there maybe other numpties like me out there.
In a bid to clear some space on my MacBook Pro 15" I have today been removing and deleting unwanted/unused apps and folders on my system.
You can guess, I managed to DELETE the wrong Lightroom app.
I have (had) Lightroom Classic/Lightroom 6/Lightroom Web and Lightroom cloud-based photo service on my MacBook. As I only now use the newer Lightroom Classic CC (on subscription) I thought I'd get rid of the others. Instead of deleting what I thought were the unwanted Lightrooms, I managed to uninstall my LR Classic!!
Resolved problem by downloading Class CC again and using backup .lcat file. Note to self and any other numpties DON'T DELETE , double check and uninstall when you are absolutely sure and of course after you backup your .lcat daily. Tomorrow, it's my Windows 10 system's turn.
I blame Adobe, this wouldn't have happened (maybe) if they named their software in a more understandable way, too many apps called Lightroom.
