Can't find Lightroom Main Catalogue

[johnb88344927]

Edit--Catalogue settings--General---Location "C:\Users\John\Pictures\Lightroom Main Catalogue

The File Name is shown as: Lightroom Main Catalogue.ircat

Created: 12/4/16

Last Optimised: 12/13/16 (Today)

When I hit "Show" it takes me to My Picture folders page but there is no sign of the Main Catalogue icon.

I've searched my external drives but can't find it.

When I try to import canon Canon Raw file it goes through the normal procedure but nothing arrives in the Film Strip or main work space.

I haven't used it much but Lr CC has worked normally up to now. I've deleted all my developed files try ing to make a new start with a new catalogue but it looks like the .ircat file has disappeared.

What can I do?

Using File Explorer, do a search for all your *.LrCat files.

Check the recycle bin.
