When exporting photos, lightroom saves several versions of the image on my destination folder

Hello

I've been using lightroom for editing my pictures for about a year now.  First, I noticed the problem a few months ago, but did not bother to seek a solution so far.  Whenever I finish photo editing, I export it to my destination folder.  My problem is that when I go in the destination folder, I see several versions of the photo, even if I only export (save) once when I am fully satisfied with the modified final image.  For example, I'll see img_2222, img_2222-2, img_2222-3 and so on, sometimes up to 10 versions.  I also noticed that the images are a little different with the final image is the image with the largest number suffix (for example, img_2222-10).  I hope I am making sense here...

As you can imagine, it's frustrating, because I end up spending an absurd amount of time to delete the versions that I don't need.  Is there any solution for this?  I searched all the settings and don't see even an option where I can record all the steps of my editing process images...

Help!

Hi cindymaya,

Could you please share the version of Lightroom that you use?

Could you please share the Lightroom export settings by using a screenshot?

When you export an image, Lightroom displays the top progress bar left referring to the number of images that are exported.

This progress bar says exporting a photo when exporting?

suggest you try to export to a new empty folder, and then check if it exports several versions.

Kind regards

Claes
