Images in folders and subfolders in Lightroom CC

[Guest]

I organize certain work with a folder and three sub-folders in Lightroom. When I open the folder, the images from the sub-folders are also now appearing in that folder, previously they didn't. I basically want images in a sub-folder to be only showing in that sub-folder (especially for when I want to mass delete raws). I've searched in preferences etc but cannot work out how to get back to the previous versions where I could delete all the images from the folder and leave the images from the sub-folders alone....for some reason they are now linked to the main folder.

 

Any ideas??

Is this what you're looking for?

 

Top menu, select Library, uncheck "Show Photos in Subfolders"

Thanks, yes - seems to have been checked by default now...or rather now is unchecked.

That's Lightroom - it is not entirely intuitive in places and it be can hard to find what one is looking for with one thing in one of the prefs and another in a menu. Overall it is a great program but it needs some work. The user interface could do with a redesign which is partly what they were trying to do with the 6.2 update which went so badly wrong. I really wish they would implement user-controlled keyboard shortcuts as it is so easy to accidentally hit the wrong key or key combo. What drives me nuts is accidentally hitting Command-W or Command-Q  (control on a PC) when I am trying to hit Command-E to edit in Photoshop. The first two commands cause Lightroom to quit. I can do this more than once  a day as I work in a dark room. At least it starts up fast again but it is annoying.
