The Restore icon is located in the top right corner of the Lightroom interface. This icon allows users to restore images that have been deleted, modified, or have missing metadata.
If you uninstall Lightroom, all of your photos and videos will be deleted from your computer.
When you delete photos from your Lightroom library, they are not permanently deleted. Lightroom keeps a copy of each photo on its hard drive, and it will periodically check to see if any of those copies need to be updated. If so, it will bring up the delete dialog box and ask you if you want to delete the photo(s) or keep them. Deleting a photo from your library removes it from your computer and deletes the corresponding file from your hard drive.
If you delete a Lightroom catalog, you must recover it before you can use the catalog again. There are two ways to recover a deleted Lightroom catalog: you can use the Restore Catalog feature in Lightroom or you can use the backup feature in Lightroom. The Restore Catalog feature in Lightroom allows you to restore a deleted catalog from its backup file.
