Remove photos from albums
Learn how to delete photos from your albums while keeping them in your library.
You can remove photos from an album when you no longer need them organized in that collection. The removal only affects the album organization. Your original photos stay safe in your Adobe Lightroom library.
In the Lightroom albums panel, scroll to Your albums, and then select the album you want to remove photos from.
Select and hold the photo you want to remove to view the pop-up menu.
If you want to remove multiple photos, select and hold one photo, then select additional ones to include them in the process.
Select Delete from the menu that appears and do one of the following:
- Remove from Album: Select Remove from album to delete the photo from the current album without deleting it from Lightroom.
- Delete: Select Delete to remove the photo from Lightroom permanently.
If you want to permanently delete a photo, read the delete information in the Delete dialog box, and then confirm.
