Removing original photos

In Photos preferences, importing is set to copy photos into library. Question is, after I import pictures into the Photos library, can I delete, move, archive or remove the original photo?


iMac (late 2013), OS Mojave 10.14.6, Photos 4.0

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

Yes. You can delete the source image files once they have been copied into the library.
