Q: Can I delete the iPhotos library on my macbook air if Photos has migrated it already? It is taking up 46GB of space (times two with the Photos library)

My computer has now created three separate photos libraries... I have my iPhoto library (45+ GB), my Photos library (45+GB) and my Google Photos Backup (14+GB).

 

The iPhotos library cannot be opened anymore because of the Photos application replacing it. It says the photos are migrated, does that mean I can delete it?

iPhone 3GS, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
