Catalog Previews file is huge after 2 imports


hello,

 

i new lr , have imported 2 folders of photos: 1 folder 5 photos , other 489 photos. believe created standard previews during import. catalog previews (.lrdata) file 571.9 mb catalog (.lrcat) 7.4 mb these 494 photos.  20,000+ more photos import clear .lrdata file exceed capacity of hard drive space on laptop before import many more photos.

 

during 2 imports settings in catalog settings>file handling set at:

standard preview size: auto (1920px)

preview quality: medium

automatically discard 1:1 previews: after 30 days

 

after reviewing more tutorials realize should have created minimal previews. there way go these 2 folders , change previews minimal? did go both folders , clicked discard 1:1 previews , smart previews hoping free space (incase had created type of preview accident) - did not.

 

i didn't notice before started importing photos .lrdata file large in unused 'virgin' state?  explanation?

 

any information welcome. thank you!

you can delete contents of preview folder while lr closed.

they recreated needed.
