How can I clean my old iMac without losing my photos and music?

I recently bought a new iMac. My old iMac is turning into the family computer.


  1. Ideally, I would like to remove all of my content while leaving the photo library and music intact. Is that possible?
  2. If not, I can keep my profile on the old computer. In that case, will any changes I make on the old computer also be reflected on my new iMac? (I don’t want my email, Telegram, texts, etc on the old computer. I also want to remove all old files that I migrated to the new computer.)
