Re: [photoshop-beginners] Delete XMP Files?

Clay, do I understand you?  Are you saying the XMP info pertains only to any editing not the original photo/image?  I have deleted many many either bad photos or edits recently (mostly not originals) and these XMP files (in recycle bin) could pertain to those deletes only?    Trish

I'm sure someone has already said this but if the photos that the xmp files correspond to are gone there is no problem.  If the file exists still and you did some processing the only thing that is lost is the changes/edits/metadata to the original.  The file will not be damaged.   http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/  .  If it were me I would just empty the recycle bin.  If you 'needed' the xmp files in the recycle bin you would have known it by now.

Greg, that might work.  Except the images are no longer in Recycle, only the XMP files!  Did I goof really badly by deleteing them from Recycle and leaving only XMP files in recycle?  Thanx for your imput,  Trish

The Image file name should...Should be a part of the file name...

Example...

 

GJG_001.NEF would have a GJG_001.XMP file with it. 

If you sort the recycle bin by file name they should match up with deleted files image files. 

Any that do not match need to be restored to the folders they came from.
