Q: Deleted pictures (and videos) from iCloud Photo Library does not disappear in Masters Folder

I've got iCloud Photo Library set up on my Mac OS X 10.11.6 and my iPhone iOS 9.3.3

 

I have 300+ photos and videos in my iCloud Photo Library and then I recently deleted 50+ useless photos and videos on my Mac to prepare a backup to Google Photos for the first time. I then tried Google Photos and to my surprise, the photos that I have deleted still get uploaded to Google Photos even though I deleted them to my Mac, still 300+ of them.

 

I search .mov inside the Masters folder in my Photo Library and I still find my deleted videos. I tried to use CleanMyMac photo junk but it's not getting deleted.

 

Is there any way to delete the supposedly "deleted" photos and videos without fully deleting my Photos Library, or should I make a fresh library to start over?

OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
