Delete the catalog and recording files in Lightroom?

I want to find the duplicate image files and delete all but one of my Lightroom Catalog AND SINCE THE DISC itself.

can anyone recommend a method to achieve this more effectively?

I need to see the images side by side in the overview before choosing what to mix and that should be kept because some files have the same file name but a different picture.  This is a result of sloppy organization and also pictures come off several cameras with similar naming sequences.

the Lightroom Catalog I'm in is 60 000 + images with LOTS of dupes.

Sorry for the noob question, but in another post I found the answer is simple.  I look at all THE PHOTOGRAPHS in the catalog.  Then, select a set of individual files which must be provided to screw up.  I can either hit the button DELETE (DELETE in the EDITION MENU is not active) or don key CONTROLS (on a Mac) and select REMOVE.  A choice is given to take on the image of the catalog or what I want, it's DELETE DISK IMAGE.  I have a lot of files to go through but it makes my job a LOT easier.  Thank you ADOBE!

  • Notice of update LR deletes the catalog

    I came here with this question a year or two ago, but it seems to be unknown. However, it keeps happening to me.

    I LR4, and the problem is that sometimes when launching it, a box if poster letting me know there is an update available, and I want to download it. Before that I can even answer, that past to every_single_time when this box appears that my current LR catalog is wound up, only showing pictures of the last import. Then, when I go to 'file', 'open recent' in an attempt to revive the previous, all catalog what existed in the past were these images since the last import. This time however - it is not even that. Also in occurrences, past I was able to revive at least my most recent backup catalog. However, this time, when I go to "open the catalog" and try to do it, I get an error message that says "Lightroom does not start with this catalogue. It is on a network volume or a volume on which LR cannot save the changes.

    I know that images (and I guess that LR changes) are still on my hard drive, but at this point, it is totally inaccessible for me, it is so discouraging. I would really appreciate help to understand this. Thanks in advance.

    It seems that you save your backups LR in subfolders nested under backup files earlier. What caused the "file path" to become very long:

    C:\Users\Mary\Pictures\Lightroom\2013-09-03 0637\Backups\2014-07-08 0805\Backups\2014-09-01 2214\Backups\2014-11-26 2300\Backups\2015-03-14 1516\Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 4

    It is in the Windows file and the limits of folders, but LR may have additional restrictions regarding the access path of the LR catalog. When you install a LR update appears the current LR catalog file can not be found because of the long drive. Ditto when you try to use a backup of the catalog file.

    I suspect you may have a similar problem with your current work LR catalog. The file catalog LR and previews must be stored directly in the Lightroom subfolder and not in subfolders beneath it.

    Here is the location:

    \Pictures\Lightroom\ name of C:\Users\[user]

    Here is what should be in the Lightroom more top folder with LR is closed:

    4 of Lightroom Catalog.lrcat file

    Previews.lrdata folder for Lightroom 4 catalog

    Please close LR and move your file Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 4 more and Lightroom 4 catalog Previews.lrdata folder at the above address and never move or rename in the future. Then open LR, and go to the menu file > catalog and select the 4 Lightroom Catalog.lrcat file to the location above.

    As suggested by Jim LR catalog backups must be stored on another drive identical to your image file backup copies. A software backup application should be used to keep the current backup with the new files, modified files and deleted files. During a new LR Catalog backup cannot create a subfolder. Use the same destination folder (Lighroom backups) on the external hard drive and LR will create its own subfolder with the Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 4 file.

  • so I deleted the pins and now my PC is fine. The number of images pinned to locations affect the performance of the PC?

    I converted to PSE10 to PSE14. I have a little more 14600 Images. Any fine at first, then I allocated 6400 to place pins and my PC slowed down of so many things that I deleted the pins and now my PC is fine. The number of images pinned to locations affect the performance of the PC?

    The reason why I asked is that my items Catalogue 10 has been somehow corrupted during the transfer of items 14 so I deleted and started re-marking all my photos, which many others who previously were not moved in elements

    You keep a copy of your old folder from catalog PSE10 somewhere? It is often possible to get a usable conversion by creating a new folder from catalog containing only the database file 'catalog.pse10db '. Who restores the keywords, ratings, the batteries of legends and notes, not version games or albums.

    I would also like to hear if there is a problem of comon or perhaps introduced by an error on my part.

    Other posts in this forum and the forum of comments, I'm willing to bet that there is a real problem and no error on your part.

    It is not possible to have the files duplicate in a folder.
     
    Perhaps mean you that you have duplicated files in * two * folders.
     
    What can or should delete them depends entirely on what files
    are and what they are in folders. If these are files of Windows, no doubt
    No, but please be specific on the file names and folder.

  • How can I delete the folder "Creative Cloud Files" from my PC?

    I never used Creative Cloud storage and probably never will be. I have no files in the folder, and it is therefore irrelevant.

    It appeared in the file Explorer, 2 days ago under/c:/users/ME... and it added a shortcut to itself in the Favorites section in the file Explorer.

    I deleted the favorite and the folder, but the next day, when I turned on my laptop, both were appeared again.

    Same thing again today.

    Is there a way to permanently delete the folder, or at least stop the favorite shortcut to reappear?

    The simple solution was presented above by Oskari Oksanen, just change the location of the file of CC users files / your name to another folder.

    It is not the perfect solution, but it's fast and easy.

  • Restore the catalog and links after the C disk failures

    My drive C crashed recently so I replaced it with a new drive and I'm trying to reinstall all my software. My photos were all on my drive D (which is not affected). I managed to get my old C drive, works again and I installed it as a slave (now K) drive.

    I find the folder 'My project' on the old C drive and copied to the folder my pictures on my D drive.

    I then clicked file > catalog > location custom and traveled to the new location for my catalog. However, when I click on open, it waits a few seconds then the dialog box disappears and returns to the main photowell (empty): "no items match this combination of filters...» "(The filters are all checked..)

    As any of my photos have moved and I still have the orginal catalog file, I was hoping that I could just point the PE9 instal new to the catalog and everything would look as if nothing had happened... Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? I've been watching the forum posts all day and not found anything quite like my situation or solutions that help.

    The files in my catalog are:

    backupCt.dat DAT 1 KB file

    Catalogue PSE9DB 126KB

    collstatus.dat DAT 1 KB file

    face. Thumb.9.cache CACHE file 15KB

    tagstatus.dat DAT 1 KB file

    Thumb.5.cache CACHE file 10 KB

    Very grateful in advance for any help in the resolution of this one...

    Tony

    The catalog you posted (126 KB) is an empty catalog.

    Search your entire computer *.pse9db and point the largest room Organizer.

  • I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

    Unless you're 'home sharing', which he does not seem like you are, two libraries (macbook and iMac) are distinct, so a change does not affect the other.  Best way to test would be to remove a few songs you can download easily and see if it changes.  But I don't think it will be a problem.

  • Cannot delete the history and Top Sites

    Hello

    I use Firefox Mobile 26.0.1 on a Fairphone with Android 4.2.2.
    I am fully aware of how I have to delete the history (and Top Sites):
    Settings-> privacy-> clear-> private data (select all) clear data

    After doing this, I have not even alert "PrivΘes deleted" pop up, but it has no effect. All sites of history and high are still there.

    I just UN - and reinstalled the app of the in-game store, so there should be no modules are no longer. Previously, I had installed "CleanQuit" app.
    (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/android/addon/cleanquit/)
    It erases the history to the closure of Firefox which has worked well.
    But I can't delete the history in the way described above...

    Best regards

    Last year, I bought my laptop and I tried to create a second user account but I placed it somehow this account as the Admin user. I don't remember the password and my file vault is of course.

    What password? You can change a password for the account, but if you do not know the FileVault password, you are in a bind. You need to call Apple directly if you their sent an emergency password when configuring the FV.

    For a user account:

    You forgot your password
