Jul 12, 2016 10:53 PM in response to NickAStormby LarryHN,There is no connection between the Aperture library and the Photos library
But as the article you noted explains the old library does not use lots of space and deleting it will not save much
It is up to you - it you have a good archive and it has been at least three months since you used the Aperture library then go ahead and delete it
