Q: iPhotos Deleting and Combining and Unix??
Three questions:
1. I have three photos among 4,000 in my iPhoto rubbish. These three photos I wish to delete ONLY! How can I do this without deleting the entire folder of 4,000 in rubbish currently.
2. I seem to have gotten myself 3 iPhoto Libraries - is there a way to combine into one. It is confusing.
3. When I go to pictures via Finder there is the following. A black square that then says Photo Data Base, modified 21 Jan 2016, Created 2 Jan 2016, 31k, Unix executable, Date Last Opened 30 May 2016.
What is this?
Can I delete this?
What does Unix executable mean? And why a black box?
Thanking you in anticipation,

1. No. Just like everywhere else in the Mac OS, the trash is not a place for storing files you *might* want to delete. It's a place for deleting files. You might also wonder why you're keeping 4,000 files in your iPhoto trash can. Workaround: Remove the files you want to keep from the trash - make a new Event and then delete the others.
2. You can merge iPhoto Libraries with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. This is the only way to do it.
3. That sounds like junk. You can delete it.
