Hi there,
I have been cleaning up my drives and noticed I have a bundle of Lightroom files and am not sure I should be keeping all of them,
The attached photo will illustrate what I mean. I only use one catalog and it is the 4-2 version so I'm wondering if the -2 and -5 versions should be deleted.
In addition I seem to have Temporary Import Data files dating back to 2011 so wondering if some of those old files should be cleaned out.
Also wondering if perhaps there is a setting in LR with which one can control how long things are kept ...
Note ...I did a Google Search and found a 2013 post where Cletus indicates LR should be automatically deleting temp import files after importing and that the reason they might be 'stuck' is that LR was shut down before the import was fully finished. For sure that isn't the problem I'm having because LR remains open long after my imports have been completed and I always shut it down properly and don't even put my laptop to sleep with it open.
Thanks in advance
