Can I delete an iPhoto library that has already been migrated?

Trying to clean up files and have several iphoto libraries from previous computers. If it has been migrated - can I then delete?

You can delete the old iPhoto Libraries. The new Photos Libraries you created from them will keep working. But I would keep backup copies of the original libraries on an external drive. I have needed my old iPhoto Libraries several times to recover the originals for photos that have become corrupted by JPEG corruption. Delete your old libraries only, if you have another backups of the original files from the time you first imported your photos to your computer.
