One common reason for large Lightroom files is that you have a lot of photos in your library. To keep your photos and videos organized and easy to access, it’s a good idea to have a limited number of folders per album. For example, if you have 50 folders in your library, try to keep them at around 5-10 folders per album. If you still have too many photos in your library, consider using an external hard drive or cloud storage service to store your photos and videos.
