A photos library file (Photos Library.photoslibrary) keeps reappearing on my desktop Since the new update (Sequoia 15.4), a new photos library appeared on my desktop. My normal library, located in the "Pictures" folder, seems unaffected. I tried opening the new library to see what it was but got prompted with "The library could not be opened... (4301)". I tried to delete the library but it reappears after a short period of time. How do I get rid of this?

DOUBLE CLICK ON PHOTOS DOES NOT OPEN PICTURE DOUBLE CLICK ON PHOTOS DOES NOT OPEN the full PICTURE. It used to do it in the past but with all the Apple updates it does not happen for most pictures in library, by month year or date

Launch Photos with the Option+Command keys held down to begin a repair of the library.
