Lightroom has slowed waaay down?

[McNyat]

Hello folks, over time my Lightroom programme is running alot slower which is starting to get very frustrating. Just wondering if there is something that I can do like delete all the old photos in catalogs as might be taking up storage etc? Or is there something else that someone can suggest. Ive looked on line and tried a few things like optimizing catalogs etc.

I wonder is it LR or Windows itself that is 'complaining'?

Perhaps if you gave your computer specs including the size(s) of your drive(s) with especially how much free space is on the OS drive???

What version of Lightroom are you running?

Have a look at the lightroom catalog folder for redundant backups.
