Q: Delete iPhoto Library?
Now that I've migrated all of my pictures and videos to Yosemite 10.10.3 "Photos," and it has its own photo library in the "Pictures" folder, may I now delete the former iPhoto library that's also in the "Pictures" folder?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

You can but you may want to keep it for awhile just to be sure that you are OK with Photos. Also note that while it appears to be using approximately double the storage space (for both Photos and iPhoto) it really isn't as it uses hard links which makes it appear that each is taking up a lot of space when they really aren't. In spite of that, either can be deleted without affecting the other.
