[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 448344, member: 9240"] After first making sure that the Metadata tab in your catalog settings has the XMP sidecar box [I]unchecked,[/I] I would find a photo that has an associated XMP file that you're planning on deleting, rename the .XMP file to .XYZ or something, then try and access the image in LR and see if the edits are intact. If they are then the XMP metadata was transferred into the LR catalog and you're OK. If not, then you first need to get that metadata into the catalog. If you have the right file utility you could rename [I]all[/I] .XMP files to .XYZ first and then check your images. Otherwise just make sure you check your images [I]before [/I]emptying the trash on your computer. [/QUOTE]
