I have the version, LR6, on my Macbook Pro running Yosemite.  When importing folders on my desktop, LR pulled to 50 000 'effects' or 'presets' from other photo software programs.  How to hide the?

Hello.  I am new to lightroom and has the stationary version, LR6, on my Macbook Pro running Yosemite.  I loaded all my photos manually in LR and ask them to synchronize folders on my desktop.  I then clicked on office and says sync, and he grew up 50 000 additional files which are the result of other programs 'elements '.     So, I have about 50 records and then hundreds or thousands of photos random in the left panel of LR, who wear funny things and have (for example) a model of Christmas card photos, or a point, or a chart or a w black screen / written (a script?) green... .and they mean nothing to me without the context of the program no matter what either knows how to use them.  How to remove or hide these system files?   as they are miles long and makes it difficult to see the picture (by date) files that I intentionally imported?   Thanks in advance.  I hope that makes sense!    Tracy

Hello Tracy,.

It is not a good option to have selected as a watch or Sync Desktop folder in file panel Office Lightroom.

Looks like you were other files such as old presets, filesystem in folders on your desktop.

The only option is to remove them manually or to recover a backup of backups of Lightroom Catalog.

Kind regards
