Good morning all,
I recently made a post about the size of Lightroom catalogs and thank you all for your helpful replies to it. However since creating that post I have been doing some more reading about the catalog & how it really works and have a question regarding maintenance of it.
I have read a number of comments around making sure you regularly cleanse the catalog file, by delete old cache files & catalog backup files, but I just wanted to see if this is something that is normally done and ultimately if so, how to do it safely without causing any issues within Lr... One thing I’m worried about (and I may be thinking this wrongly), but if I delete old catalog files (backups), will this remove edits I have made to older images that are linked to my Lr?
Many thanks
