• LR has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking.

  I have the trial version of Lightroom 30 days.  I was able to use it for a week, but the last weeks of 1,5 to 2, it was locked up and that gives this error message.  How to solve the problem?  And how to reset the free 30 day trial?  I wish I had the time using the product before deciding on the annual contract.

  "LR has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking.  Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts. »

  Thank you.

  Delete the cache of the overview of the Lightroom folder in your pictures folder if you used the default location. It has the extension .lrdata.

  You cannot reset the trial period.

  Hi melotam,

  It seems that something in your preview cache has been altered. No worries - you can delete preview cache and Lightroom are going to rebuild it, even if it may take some time, depending on the size of your catalog.

  To remove the preview cache, follow these steps:

  1. quit Lightroom.

  2. in your operating system, look for your Lightroom Catalog. Catalogs are generally/Pictures/Lightroom on Mac and my Pictures\Lightroom on Windows.

  3. Locate the folder whose name ends in "Previews.lrdata" and delete it. (note, may you enjoy a folder whose name ends with "Smart Previews.lrdata." You shouldn't need to remove that one).

  Once the preview folder is deleted, restart Lightroom. You can see gray thumbnails in the grid for a few moments that Lightroom starts to rebuild your preview cache.

  Let us know if that helps.

  Kind regards

• Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking.  Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts.

  Can I get an explanation of what past?

  You must remove the preview Cache.

  It is located in the same folder as the catalog in Lightroom. The name of the cache an extract ends with Previews.LRDATA and should be deleted. Not to be confused with *. LRCAT, which should not be deleted.

• I have my catalog on an external hard drive, trying to open it the error message saying "lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and need to stop smoking" and how can I remedy as all my work in this

  I let close put it keeps appearing

  I guess you know where your file catalog (lrcat). In the same folder is a folder of lrdata of previews that you must delete or rename in the Explorer, then start LR again.

  If I made erroneous assumptions that above, sorry, and we will go back on it from the beginning.

• Why does say lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and need to stop smoking? (Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts) and then stops?

  

  Your catalog is stored on the hard drive.

  By default, it is stored in Pictures\Lightroom

  You must browse to folder Pictures\Lightroom via File Explorer and delete the Previews.lrdata folder.

  In the same folder that your catalog file is a subfolder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Delete this subfolder. Do not remove your catalog file (whose name ends in. LRCAT)

  Hi crystalc,

  It seems that the preview cache has become corrupted.

  You must go to the location where your catalog is stored via finder/File Explorer and get rid of the file ending with Previews.lrdata (not .lrcat)

  Default location of the catalog is under Pictures\Lightroom

  OK, go to the Lightroom folder (in images by default) and delete the folder/file ending with the extension.lrdata. Previews have somehow become corrupt.

• Error "LR has encountered an error in its cache of the preview reading and needs to stop smoking".

  The message continues: "LR will attempt to solve this problem, the next time that he launched" this started after I tried to load an add-on which identifies duplicates for deletion. Unfortunately, stop and restart LR5 guard going in a circle. LR5 turns on W7 professional, 64-bit. If I uninstall LR5, I'll be able to re - install from creative cloud and that will fix the problem? I deleted the offending module already.

  Close Lightroom and navigate to your Lightroom Catalog folder.

  The default location is usually in images.

  Remove the file in the catalog folder that ends Previews.lrdata

  Do not touch the catalog itself that ends.lrcat

  Then try to re-launch of Lightroom.
