Jul 28, 2015 11:29 AM in response to Marisa Allenby léonie,Can I simply delete the library file as all images are stored in iCloud?
I'd make a copy of the Photos library on an external drive, just in case.
Yes, you can delete the current Photos library and create a new, empty library. With your settings only optimised versions should download from iCloud to the new library. But this will only restore the photos, but not all library items. If you have named faces, the faces will not download from iCloud, also any products like books, cards, calendars. Would that that be a problem for you?
It will like downloading from iCloud Photo Library to a different mac, as described here: Use Photos and iCloud Photo Library on multiple Mac computers - Apple Support
