Oct 9, 2015 7:50 AM in response to digiridiby léonie,Did you remember to empty the Recently Deleted album after you deleted the photos from Photos? Otherwise the photos will remain in the Recently deleted album for a month, so you can recover them.
The Recently Deleted Album is in the Albums section of the Sidebar. (see: Delete photos and video )
If your Photos Library has been migrated from an iPhoto Library, the old iPhoto Library and the Photos Library are sharing the photos by hard links. The storage will only be released, if you delete to original photos from the iPhoto Library as well.
