Q: iPhoto Library & Photos Library
In Pictures folders I have 2 libraries after installing Photos, iPhotos Library and iPhotos Libraries.
1st question : Is that correct/normal ?
iPhoto Library has 142Gb. Photos Library has 82Gb.
2nd question : How is that possible ?
3rd question : Has Photos migrate all photos and videos from ?
4th : should I or can I delete iPhoto Library ?
Thank you very much.
P.D. I am using :
OS X El Capitan
Photos 1.1
in iCloud there aren't all my photos/videos. Just 89Gb. It says "Updating", but it doesn't update more photos/videos
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

1. Yes.
2. The media files are hardlinked. Despite being part of both size counts, they only count once towards the total amount of space used on the drive.
3. Yes.
4. You probably shouldn't; because of #2, doing so won't free up nearly as much space as it appears it will.
