Why does the Lightroom folder in my folder users use 124GB?

While trying to figure out why I'm running out of space on my hard drive, I found that Lightroom uses 124.3 GB to catalog my photos.

If this is normal can move this folder to a drive work to save space on my hard drive? I am a photographer of nature with 131000 previews in my library.

If you have an extract 1:1 for all 131 000 of your images or a large percentage still there is a chance that this is the reason why your catalog is so large.

When space is tight, it might be useful to consider the removal of these previews that you don't need regular access to 1:1. Standard-size previews will remain after serving 1:1 previews. The alternative, you have identified, would be to move the entire folder (catalog and previews) to a disk with more free space. Once the move is completed you should only double-click on the file catalog moved to relaunch Lightroom with the correct version of the catlog. Lightroom will remember the new location of the catalog.

    This storage folder are you referring? If you are referring to the film, what happens because you have accepted a trust between the iOS device and the computer. If the device has been connected to another computer, it must be unlocked and establish a relationship of trust as well. If you are referring to something different, please explain.

    Try to hold the alt/option key while you restart Lightroom. Make sure that the right catalog file is selected and click on the "integrity test" box to see if there is a problem with the catalog file that might be repaired.

  • Why is the Spam folder not highlighted when an e-mail comes in?

    My Thunderbird started to deliver emails from my Inbox spam. But there is no way to know that he did that there is no indication when a message has arrived in the spam box. My Inbox gets "BOLD" lettering with a "BOLD" pair of square brackets with the number of new unread emails, so I know not to open it. The Junk folder does nothing unless you click on it and then he wakes up and realizes as magically there a message in, becomes "BOLD" and puts the number of new emails in parentheses. Why it only when the message is put there? I'll have to click on spam records 10 times a day to check, nothing is there...

    Could I change the settings so NO emails go ino the folder of spam at all?

    Innadvance thanks for your help. At soon Richard

    Three parameters to check/set:

    Thunderbird menu: tools: Options: account settings: on the left side, select "Server settings" under your e-mail account. On the right side, under "Server settings", make sure that "allow notifications immediate server when arrive it for new messages" is selected. Click OK.

    Right click on the folder of Spam in question and choose 'properties '. 1. go into the "Sync" tab and tick 'select this folder offline. 2. go to the "General information" tab and tick "when getting new messages from this account, always check this folder. Click OK.
