Title: a little question about Smart Previews
Post by: katherin04 on August 02, 2018, 09:38:37 pm

I would like to dump a few hundred smart previews but I can't figure out where they are.  Suggestions?

Do a search for Smart Previews.lrdata
For me, they reside with the Library, catalog etc but I suppose your mileage may vary. But the Irdata extension is for Smart Previews and 'standard' previews.

You can selectively remove Smart Previews from the LR Menu > Library > Previews > Discard Smart Previews
(Deleting the xxxxSmart Previews.LRDATA folder will delete ALL Smart Previews.)

The originator of this thread is a vexatious poster who I have banned on numerous occasions. The question, although plausible, is not genuine.
