What Gets Removed

Deleting a photo or video permanently removes its original files, their YAML and JSON sidecar files, and other related sidecar files. Thumbnails and other cached files are removed the next time a cleanup runs.

Deleted files remain in older backups until they are removed, and in any copies that were downloaded, exported, or synchronized.
