iPhotos library - Can I delete For the longest time I did not deal with iPhotos due to being to busy. I am now clearing space on my computer. I don't know why the libraries did not migrate when upgrading the OS but they didn't. I have now added 2007-2014 to Photos. There were in a folder entitled "picture from IPHOTO Bup" under Favorites in the Finder window. Don't remember how they got there. I back up with Timemachine. I have also backed up all the photos on another external hard drive. What can I trash now. Please see the image I took. Thank you in advance for your guidance. Frances

Reclaiming Photos library space after turning off "copy files to library". I do a fresh install of MacOS every year or so and I always set the Photos app to not copy the photos across to the library. Well, this time I forgot to change that setting, so now I have a very large library file plus the same original photos again on my mac. I really do not want to delete the originals. I like to have my photos browsable in the finder. I've spent a huge amount of time importing 20 years of pictures and arranging them into albums and assigning key photos and I do not want to do that again. So, is there a way to delete the photos library file and retain the albums inside the photos app? Or I would even delete the library and start again if there was a way to drag my pictures into the app and have it import them all whilst retaining the folder structure of the folder im dragging in. If anyone has any insight, it would be much appreciated. I really dont want to spend days sorting them all out again.
